Asscher Table Size (Need Help)

[cmelb]

I went to the jewelers today, and the jeweler told me a Asscher Diamond with a table of 55% will make the diamond look dark. Frow what I have sen on this forum a good table size is 55%-65%.

He had a few Asscher diamonds that he showed me that were around 70% Table, was he trying to make a sale?

What table size should I look for in a Asscher??

Also what are your thoughts of this diamond below.

Carat weight: 0.72
Cut: Ideal
Color: D
Clarity: VS2
Certificate: GIA

Depth: 67.3%
Table: 55%
Polish: Excellent - Ideal

Girdle: Slightly thick
Culet: None
Fluorescence: None
Measurements: 5.05*5.05*3.40
Ratio: 1.00

65 at the biggest I recomend for most people and 55-62 is my sweet zone.
There are some people that love the larger tabled asschers but in general that will be the best zone to stay in.
70% tables are a lot easier to get a hold of so you get some jewelers that push them.
They are cut for weight not beauty.
They tend to look glassy and not as fiery.
That said there is a couple people here who love their larger tabled asschers and thats kewl.

Iv seen kicken asschers with tables down into the 45% range so 55% is fine.
