Asscher Cut - Good Specs?

[fadedvisions]

I am new to this and after some reasearch found this diamond to be within range I am looking for.

Could someone take a look at these specs and reassure me that this is a good selection? Or perhaps let me know which areas aren''t so good?

Price: $5,315k CAD, comes with GIA report.

Thanks!

numbers drool and pictures rule.
That said its right on the edge it would depend on the pictures and the crown height.

I agree with Storm.
Pictures are essential as the GIA tells us nothing about some vital aspects such as the shape of the corners

It''s off of BN so I can''t really get pics. I requested an additional report to tell me the crown height. What am I hoping for?

No pictures no buy is my motto.
Pictures are a must for step cuts.

Same here. No pictures, no sale. I REFUSE to buy any non-round diamond without a picture. Sometime the numbers might look good on paper but it doesn''t tell ALL the angles, especially the critical lower facet angles and the stone ends up a dud.

Just a suggestion: Many times other vendors can get stones that Blue Nile offers- maybe you can find one that can either do that and take photos for you, or show you a different comparable stone with photos.

The common thread about pictures is a valid concern- plus, the size color and clarity you are looking at won''t be hard to find from sources that can give you photos.
