Advice on this puppy-

[jolar]

HCA is .9
Excellent on all 4 categories
My concern here is the lower half length percentage is only 75%.
Should I hold out for 80%?
I''m new but what I''ve read 80 is a lot better?

It''s a little low, but the rest of the stats look pretty great. Are there any images / grading reports available for the diamond?

No, this is pretty much it.
Tiffany diamond.
They get a little stuffy when you want more than this
I will be using an Idealscope.
I''ve been doing some searching without much info on the subject of lower half girdle facet length ideal percentages.
Can you enlighten me on their importance or what I might be lacking if I choose this diamond at 75%?
I believe they have something to do with the pavilion mains but I can''t find any info showing correlating comparisons.

LOL! I thought you meant a dog

I wonder if others thought the same.....

 

[jolar]

Lol.
No wonder the responses have been a bit slow....

I think 75% LGF should be fine with this proportion combo. If it was a borderline angle combo then 80% can help in some cases but 75% shouldn't be an issue but really without images it isn't possible to tell much and each diamond needs evaluating on its own physical and optical properties, the LGF are only part of the story. Also in h&a patterning, as the LGF's get longer sometimes a split in the hearts can be seen.

Awesome info.
I was looking for a thread like that.
I''m more of a white light return lover so I think I''ll hold out for longer lgf.
Even if just for mental sanity sake!
Thank you.

Very glad to help!

Actually no reason why the diamond you are interested in shouldn''t be very brilliant with the proportions.
