Hello All,
It’s been a while since I’ve been on this forum. Life and work seem to keep me busy. In any case, I’m hoping to enlist your wonderful expertise in critiquing the following diamond images. Please note that I’ve already searched high and low on PriceScope and a multitude of other online databases for the perfect stone and came up with a very short list since my criteria was very narrow. Now I’m utilizing a phenomenal concierge service to source a comparable GIAXXX diamond that would meet AGS000 marks.
To give you an idea, I personally vetted GIA certificates for the following specs:
Excellent cut, symmetry, and polish
Table: 54%-57% (prefer 55% for thickness of arrows)
Depth: 60.5%-62.3% (ideally <61.3-61.7)
Pavilion angle: 40.6-40.8 (ideally 40.
Pavilion %: 43%
Crown angle: 34-35.5 (ideally 34.4-34.6)
Crown %: 14.7%-15.5%
Lower Girdle Half Length: 75%-78% (GIA rounds to either 75 or 80 so I leaned towards 80)
Star Facet Length: 45%-51%
Girdle: thin to slightly thick (ideally 2.5%-3.5%)
Fluorescence: Medium
Upon finding potential super-ideal candidates, I asked for ASET/ideal scope photos with goal of:
minimal signs of crown and pavilion painting and digging per ASET images
Symmetric hearts with minimal cleaving
That being said, here’s the diamond I’ve reserved and before I bite the bullet, I’d like to run it by you all.
.7ct, table 56%, depth 62%, and crown angle of 35.5 paired with pavilion angle of 40.6. HCA score is 1.3.
In both the ASET and arrows images, I’m noticing clustering around the center. Technically, I’m not sure what that implies.
Your help is much appreciated!
