Hi, I think you're paying a few hundred dollars too much. Given that the table is 60%, it is nowhere near the "ideal" price guidelines of 6900/carat. An IDEAL cut is 57% table, but you will pay top dollar for this and 0% discount....
Hope this helps.

Well, I didn't buy it. I've decided to try again with someone else hoping to get a better price.

Thanks for your reply.

You also need to go to the tutorial section and learn more about cut. Start at this link where you will see how the table and depth %'s information you have tells you nought about the stones beauty. http://www.pricescope.com/tutor_60.asp
