Princess proportions

mmusgrove Rough Rock Total Posts: 4 Last Post: 11/18/2008 Member Since: 11/14/2008	I'm really close to purchasing a princess diamond. I have observed the diamond a couple times in person and find it absolutely beautiful! Below are the specs. Based on the specs provided, my questions are: (1) Is there anything that jumps out that should be brought to my attention? (2)I'm still not very well educated on "ideal" pavilion and crown angles and the relationship between the two (based on their angles/measurements) - any feedback on the overall proportions would be very much appreciated. GIA certified... Shape = princess Measurements = 5.78 x 5.77 x 4.01mm, L/W = 1:1 Weight = 1.09 Color = D Clarity = SI1 Polish = Excellent Symmetry = Excellent Fluorescence = None Girdle = Med Cutlet = None Depth % = 69.5% Table % = 68% Crown angle = 37.4 Crown % = 10.4% Pavilion angle = 39.2 Pavilion depth = 56.7% I have also obtained specs from the merchant using Firetrace to determine light results... - Fire = ideal - Brilliance = ideal - Scintillation = ideal I also plan to ask if they can provide a Sarin report and lightscope results. Thanks so much.

Learning how to recognize a well-cut princess is much more complicated than recognizing well-cut rounds, in part because a princess cut has several pavilion angles. AGS does grade the cut of princess cut diamonds. I'd look for one that got AGS's highest cut rating, Zero! Whiteflash.com (under their Princess ACA name) and Goodoldgold.com sells them.

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

I realize it may be difficult to view the light results (based on colors), but hopefully this will help. I hope to get an Ideal Scope image as well. Thanks again, Mike
