Depth on a 1.0 Princess cut diamond!!

[GarGan]

What would be an ideal dept for a 1.0 Princess cut diamond??

Ideally, between 65 and 75%. A good rule would be to look for a stone with a table smaller than the depth by a few %'s.

look at www.gemappraisers.com - on the left click on "AGA Cut Grade Chart..". On that screen, there is a pull-down where you can select a princess cut, and the chart will let you know the appropriate depth - but, about 64.0%-75.0% is considered good - but princesses are difficult to judge on numbers (especially one number) alone.

Good Luck!

Honestly, I much better like 65% depth than 75% which waists alot of cts for the bottom of the stone. Aside depth, the other cut parameter which is hard to find right in princess cuts is the depth of the crown (which is usually too shallow, below 9%) and the table %(should be less than the depth).

Why not select a few stones and get comments on them? This is the fastest way on PS...
