Can a fancy (specifically oval) be ok if the depth is 66%

[mandyk77]

I just got the paperwork on the stone that my boyfriend purchased. It is very clear, sparkly, and full of life, but I am concerned because the depth is 66%.

Is this cause for alarm. Should I look into getting another stone???

View the link above. On fancies everyone says you really have to look at it. With a depth of 66% it will appear smaller than necessary for its carat weight....however, if you love it....that''s all that matters. We want pics!

You simply can''t think of round brilliant numbers (I''m assuming you''re thinking of a 66% deep RB) in the context of fancy shapes...for example, some of the very best looking, AGS0, Princess cuts have depths of 76-78%!
