62.5 depth and appearance of size

[jimbob555]

Hey everyone,
I *think* this is a good diamond for the money:

I called BN and had them verify the diamond is eye clean.

My only concern is, will the diamond look smaller than it should for its carat weight because the depth is 62.1%? Ideally, I'd like proportions that'd make the diamond look a bit bigger than it really is.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Nope--not good.

Find a diamond with
Pavilion 40.6-41.0
Crown between 34.0-35.0
Table between 53.0-58.0

Everything else usually works itself out.

Thanks for the quick reply. So, based on what you are saying, and the HCA, this is a decent amount better?

Thanks again,

It's better cut, for sure. The issue is that we dont' know if it's eye clean. SI2 is risky, especially in a diamond whose certificate does not have a diagram of inclusions.
