Many thx!

Never mind - I just looked at the subject line!

The length to width ratio is good at 1.02:1.

The depth is good too.

The table is just a touch on the larger side.

If you have the crown height available, you can crunch the DIY system at www.gemappraisers.com to learn the Cut Class. The table is a 2A. The depth is a 1A. But the girdle thickness is 3A/3B. The final, overall grade would be a "blend" of the defining criteria. Crown height will crucial to the overall Cut Class of the diamond.

Keep in mind, that Princess cuts must be seen in person. You cannot evalute Princess diamonds solely based on the paper specs.

It doesn't look like you are after a bargain....

The numbers look average, with the only clear detraction being the somewhat deeper cut (and resulting smaller facing stone). However, these cannot say whether this princess cut gets anywhere nera the brilliance expected from the model.


PQ is right to say that seeing is believing - but one needs experience to evaluate a diamond visually - same for cut as for color and clarity. You did go for a certified stone to make sure of clarity, color and weight - but there is precisous little about cut quality on a GIA cert.


If size and brilliance are not an issue, than why not
