Hello Everyone:
First, this site is awesome with so much information and helpful people. I found the following asscher diamond and would like to get your input and thoughts on the cut and price. I am surprising my girlfriend and her only needs are an asscher cut in a solitaire platinum setting (I like the lucida style setting).
Asscher cut - GIA
1.55ct
Color: D
Clarity: VS1
Polish: very good
Symmetry: very good
Fluorescence: none
Depth: 69.1%
Table: 66%
Measurements: 6.33x6.31x4.36
The B&M jewler wants to sell me this diamond and solitaire lucida style setting in platinum for $13,500 cash. My original budget was $10k, then it went up to $12k because I wanted something between 1.35-1.45 ct. I think the price is pretty close to what I have found on pricescope.
I am now really focus on the quality of the diamond. I know it''s hard to say without seeing it in person, but are the specs good quality and worth the extra money?? I am concern that the table at 66% and depth at 69.1% is too much. I read in a few articles and guides online that an asscher''s table should be 53%-57% for excellent cut, 58%-65% for very good and depth should be 59%-65% for excellent and 65%-67% for very good cuts. Since it''s so much money, I would want a diamond with high quality. I have not seen the diamond, he needs to get it shipped if I want it.
I am planning to surprise my GF in mid June. Any insight you can provide about the quality and overall value of the diamond would be much appreciated. THANKS! Should I buy and starting planning the surprise?
