Hi, merry christmas all! Just wondering, what is the lower limit of acceptable dimensions/face up size for a 1.5 carat asscher?
Thank you!
Thank you!

That's about where it is for me, why?
Yes, it is G VS1, he was referred by good friends to what sounds like to me, a bench that does settings for various jewelry stores and also sources stones for private clients. Having been around on PS for a number of years, I had panic and alarm bells sounding as well. But the stone is extremely bright, clear, the steps are very well defined, the windmills are the thickness that I prefer, and it throws off so much fire that it holds its own against a very very well cut tranny that I used to own. The stone is actually 6.15 x 6.11.Gypsy|1419581168|3807819 said:Is it a GIA stone?
I really do love it. I know that he paid a lower price than other stones with the same specs found just through the PS search function, which, of course doesn't account for cut but is at least a starting point in terms of comparison. Is the spread far off enough to warrant huge concern?Gypsy|1419582280|3807823 said:No concern with the feather.
So other than the spread, you really like the stone?
well saidGypsy|1419630066|3808072 said:No. If you love it, and it's GIA graded, and he paid less because of the spread, I think you are fine.
But if the spread bothers you to the extent that it's stopping you from enjoying the ring, then you can look around and see what else is out there. But a larger (spreadier) stone may cost more, so that's something to consider.
I would get yelled at by the other pros(rightfully so) if I said to much based on that picture but I can say I don't see anything screaming return it in the picture.walkinfaith|1419639990|3808138 said:Thank you both so, so much! And from the terrible picture there aren't any glaring problems, like a p3 problem, right? It really is such a firecracker in real life, and I feel like I've looked at enough asscher threads on PS over the years to know what an asscher should look like.
Your help is invaluable and so very appreciated!! Hope you are having a happy holiday season!
