Why is this 1.3 so cheap

I know there's a large black inclusion at 7 oclock, but since that could be placed under a prong, wouldn't the negative effect be mostly ignored? It's a good 10% cheaper than similar stones on BN

It's a bit deep, and the angles aren't complimentary... HCA score 2.6. There is probably a bit of light leakage. Also, the girdle is thicker, holding more weight than medium girdle stones. It's not bad for an SI2 though... from the video anyway.

Actually it looks like there are lower priced diamonds with the same specs (Ideal, 1.3ct J SI2) that are less expensive on BN. HCA isn't good, I would pass.

Also has more pinpoints and clouds not shown on the clarity plot. Stone may be cloudy in certain lighting. There's a reason the price is low. Plus I wouldn't buy due to the cut.


These are measurements to help you stay in ideal cut territory with a GIA excellent cut stone.

table: 54-58

depth: 60-62.3

crown angle: 34-35.0 (up to 35.5 crown angle can sometimes work with a 40.6 pav angle)

pavilion angle: 40.6-40.9 (sometimes 41.0 if the crown angle is close to 34)

This is the one OP is considering (HCA 1.3)...

It was on a different thread. And you're right... the one posted on this thread is no good.
