Another Rate this diamond question

Should i be concerned that the dimensions of the 1.51 stone seems a bit smaller compared to other ideally cut diamonds of the same carat weight?

The width/length seem to be smaller by 0.05 to 0.08mm vs other 1.51 carat stones.

thanks in advanced everyone

It is facing up a little small as some weight is in the depth and crown possibly but it is still acceptable, it depends on whether you prefer to hold out for a diamond measuring nearer 7.4- 7.5mm.

Darn, this could be a little snag.

I checked other vendors for 1.51 stones that are H&A''s and they range from 7.35 to 7.40 as far as width and length go. Is 0.05 to 0.10 that noticeable??

The spread is fine, to me as long as its within reasonable range ( which this one is) and the overall proportions are good then thats the most important thing in my opinion, it might look very slightly smaller than a 7.5mm stone if comparing unmounted diamonds directly but once set any size difference is going to be negligible.
