What do all the abbreiviation means? Which lab graded it? Is there an ASET pic that we can see to evaluate the cut as it is a fancy cut? B&M store or online vendor? http://diamonds.pricescope.com/fnc1.asp use this to judge the cut of the stone, just a rough guide though. If you can't see the stone, then buying and AGS0 graded Princess cut is the simplest way to get a good performing stone. EDT: But first impression is it is over-priced. Blue Nile has similiar stones for around USD$5600 as the signature ideal cut.

What do you think of the proportions of this stone ? Doest it really worth 5 000 € ??? Thks in advance Ben Hi Ben and welcome, Which lab report does this diamond have? Also have you seen the diamond in person? It isn't possible to really give any meaningful input on fancy shapes without photos and images such as ASET. I am not familiar with the format you are using to post the proportions of this diamond such as hi ( crown height?) and hp, I can see the table, girdle, culet and finish, but do you also have the depth, polish and symmetry grades? Does it have a HRD report?  Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn |

It looks like a HRD-report, with: t meaning table-size: 76% hi meaning crown height: 5.5% hp meaning pavilion depth: 58.5% gi meaning girdle: 2% thin cu meaning culet: pointed fin meaning finish, a combination of polish and symmetry with HRD: good Paul Slegers |

the stone has a HRD certificate. Idon't have any picture but I've seen it in person; however i'am very far from being a specialist. Regarding the abreviation, I believe that: t = table hi = crown height hp = depth gi = grindle cu = culet fin= finish Thks for your messages Ben

Date: 10/8/2008 9:50:15 AM Author: Lorelei It isn't possible to really give any meaningful input on fancy shapes without photos and images such as ASET. Hi Ben. I concur with Lorelei. Princess cuts are not like rounds where a measure of performance predictability resides in the numbers...there are too many variables. We could talk about broad tendancies but since you've seen the diamond you're in a better position than we are. Have you been able to compare it to a known performer like an AGS0 princess? John |

It is a traditional princess-cut, like you can find many. Minimum-crown height and very shallow crown angle in order to get a slightly smaller table. Generally, these princess-cuts do not perform at all.
