Thanks, do you have the crown and pavilion angles please? These should be on the report if it is since early 2006, the angles are critical info in order to be able to evaluate this diamond.Date: 5/22/2009 11:42:53 AM

Lorelei has a "Cliff''s Notes" of angles that she posts that is very helpful. I''m sure she will come back and have that for you.Date: 5/22/2009 11:57:46 AM

What would be a better pavillion angle?
GIA "EX" in cut is great at its heart, but it ranges a bit wider than some people prefer, particularly in deep combinations (pavilion > 41 with crown > 35).
Yes indeed, this diamond also falls within fiery ideal cut range ( FIC) which basically means the diamond might show some extra fire or coloured light if the lighting conditions are right.Date: 5/22/2009 12:23:14 PM

Numbers looks good.
Definite no to this one due to the pavilion angle.Date: 5/22/2009 1:21:33 PM

It might be fine but the report with the details we need hasn't been uploaded yet, also you would need to check the very thin part of the girdle wasn't a potential durability issue by asking James Allen's gemologist to check it out if when you get the report if the diamond is worth further investigation.Date: 5/22/2009 4:11:39 PM

This one looks promising in the photo but they haven''t loaded the report on this one either so you would need to contact them for the angles and so on.Date: 5/22/2009 4:15:35 PM
