Hi EasternShore, welcome to PS.

At the very least, we need crown and pavillion angles to make an informed judgement of a diamond--star and lgf% are also helpful. Of course, photos and Idealscope images would be the best, but if you want to make a purchase decision based on just the numbers, the angles are a must.

Now the numbers you posted can raise some red flags. The last diamond's depth is much too high, are we sure the 63.7 is correct? GIA doesn't issue an Ideal cut grade, so that is a vendor's description--the diamond could get no better than VG from GIA with that girdle. The first is a little deep as well, but could be OK depending on other factors.
 
Diamond A & C are a bit too deep. You can tell already with stone C being 1.91ct but the size is smaller than stone B with 1.87ct. Otherwise, ditto jet2ks, we need the crown and pavillion angles to determine the cut.

Thanks for the hlep, however, I am looking at these online and the above specs are all that are listed.

They make no mention of angles, etc in the listings.

I was able to find the following link to the GIA report for Diamond C:

Yep, pass on that one. The angles are not a very good compliment for each other and most likely will not reflect light in the best way. If you have the AGS & GIA report number for the first two, we can look up the full specs.
 

Man you guys are good!


Diamond A is 9Q48517496


Still working on Diamond B

 
Based on just the information listed I''d be skeptical about all three. Is it possible to get some additional options and/or look at other vendors?

Also, vendors who won''t provide reports right off the bat/immediately upon request are always a bit sketchy to me - you shouldn''t have to be tracking these down yourself...

This one is a steep deep with the crown and pavilion angles, I would pass on this one personally and it is too deep physically, out of these the second has the most potential but again the angles are needed.
