Please excuse my ignorance, but I''m completely new to the diamond world...
I am looking at a 1.00ct Cushion Cut Diamond. I''m fine with the color and clarity of it, and really like the diamond overall, but from what I''ve seen the depth seems to be out of whack in comparison with most cushion diamonds. It''s got a table of 67% and a depth of 48.6%. What kind of range should it be in for a cushion diamond? And as someone that can''t really tell a quality diamond from non-quality by just looking at them, what is a depth of 48.6% going to do in terms of appearance compared to a cushion cut diamond that is in the, more desirable, depth range? I have looked at the cut classes for Radiant as it''s the only cut guide I could find that was close, but the numbers don''t really mean that much to me. I''m more interested in if the depth is going to make it have less sparkle or light leakage etc.
any help would be very greatly appreciated
thanks
Jeremy
