GIA
1.91 ct
G Color
VS2
GIA Cut: VG
Table: 55%
Depth: 62.9%
Crown: 35.5''
Pav: 40.8''
ST: 55%
LH: 75%
Girdle VTN to STK, F
Culet: none
Polish: VG
Sym: VG
Flor: Medium Blue

HCA score = 2.7

Saw in person. Looks nice, no apparent haziness/milkiness from Med Blue flor. Didn''t detect a dark ring around the table. Seemed like a pretty good price at about $14K (definitely above my budget, but may stretch to get that close to 2ct in a G-VS2).

So, cut gurus...do I have a deep/steep or some other problem here? Only a VG cut score, but looks like maybe it just missed EX.
 
It miss the Ex cut because of the very thin part of the girdle.

What is the lower half number?

Looks like 75% from the numbers he posted (marked LH?)
 
Hi jrb,
Can you post the measurement?

Hmm... missed that somehow... :P

Probably slight leakage that is difficult yo detect due to our binocular vision. Or the averaging and rounding of the numbers by GIA is just to wrong direction for this stone. No way to tell which is it just basing on the numbers, an Idealscope image will tell if leakage is present.
 
Sorry, left off the dimensions.

7.87 - 7.94 x 4.97

I may try to get it IS''d tomorrow.

It is also a bit deep and is facing up smaller than it should, this weight should spread around 8mm.
