Hey everyone,
I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the below diamond? I’m so nervous buying online without actually seeing it in person but I think that the credentials look good. Any thoughts?

It is GIA certified round 0.73, G color, VS2, GIA3X. It got a 0.8 in the HCA and a 1A in the AGA/NAJA

Measurements: 5.76, 5.78, 3.60
Table: 54%
Depth: 62.3%
Crown Angle: 34.0
Pavilion Angle: 40.6
Crown Depth: 15.5%
Pavilion Depth: 43%
Girdle: Med-Sl Thick
No Culet
No Fluro

I have attached the images which I think look good. It seems pretty symmetrical. My only concern is the table is quite small and therefore the arrows are rather thick and I am worried that there will be lots of contrast and not enough white sparkle on the top. I read that this is supposed to produce lots of fire though?
Over to you, Pricescope Diamond experts…. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Steven,
All the angles and % are at the top of my original post. I found this one on pricescope by making sure that the cut was GIA ex ex ex.
 
Steven,

First you want to stick to stones that have a crown angle of 34 and over (33.5 okay for 60/60 style stones), a pavilion angle of 41 and under, and no deeper than 62.5.
Start with a GIA Ex, and then apply the HCA to it. Then check actual light performance of your actual stone by getting an idealscope image.

ps. Above guidance was given by Gypsy (one of the experts here)
