I can't see any images, I'm afraid.

Can you post the angles/measurements off the GIA certificate?

And run them through the HCA tool under the Tools tab to see what it scores?


How much is the price?

Have you used the Search bar at the top of the forum to look for similar stones, so you can compare prices? (Select 'Excellent' under the HCA score section to filter stones that will perform well.)

This is a BN Astor stone.

https://www.bluenile.com/au/diamond-details/LD11478141

PROPORTIONS
Depth
61.5 %
Table
58 %
Crown Angle
34.0°
Crown Height
14.5%
Pavilion Angle
40.8°
Pavilion Depth
43.0%
Star Length
45%
Lower Half
80%
Girdle
Slightly Thick, Faceted, 4.0%
Culet
None

Stone looks decent. Gemex Live report also looks good. Identiview image looking crown side up shows very good optical symmetry arrows wise.

1212D3F5-803C-4F95-BCDF-9B68C56FF50B.png

CA is likely to be 34.1 or 34.2 rather than 34.0 and below. PA likely to be ~40.8. Proportions wise, it’s good.

If you don’t really care for the upgrade policy at another super ideal vendor, this to my eyes is one of the better Astor line stones I’ve seen.

Did you see this one...same price/specs, smaller table, nice angles (34.5/40.8 )
https://www.bluenile.com/au/diamond-details/LD11359679?track=FCOM&slot=2&type=5

EDIT...the one you picked is fine...just giving you options :)

Yes, this was another option and it costs the same as https://www.bluenile.com/ae/diamond-details/LD11478141

So which one of the top two?

Then I have a third option as follows, which scored 0.9 HCA but could not check the other two options because I have already used it 3 times:
Depth
61.8 %
Table
56 %
Crown Angle
35.0°
Crown Height
15.5%
Pavilion Angle
40.6°
Pavilion Depth
43.0%
Star Length
50%
Lower Half
75%
Girdle
medium, Faceted, 3.5%
Culet
None
Clarity characteristics Crystal, needle, pinpoint

Really appreciate it, just need help because this is my first time.
