Hi guys,
I'm new to buying diamonds and this forum has been an invaluable source of information. I'm hoping I can get some opinions/advice on a round brilliant stone that I've narrowed my search down to please.
I've received a firetrace report from the online vendor and the diamond scored excellent for brightness and scintillation but only very good for fire. Do you think the crown angle will make that much of an impact on the fire of the stone? I've been told it is a very clear and bright stone, but I am concerned about the amount of fire it will have. I do like stones with a good amount of fire. Or am I just nitpicking? I've attached the ideal scope image as well.
It is a round brilliant, I colour, GIA triple Ex.
Specs are:
VS2
0.8 ct
60.7% depth
57% table
33.5 crown angle
40.8 pavilion angle
14.5% crown height
43% pavilion depth
girdle medium faceted
strong blue fluorescence
6.00 x 6.02 x 3.65
HCA 0.9 (ex, ex, ex, vg)
