Diamond Evaluation

[lojack_ii]

Hi, I have been reading through the messages on these boards and this website has been extremely helpful to me. I would like to get some educated opinions on this diamond I am thinking seriously about purchasing, loose. Please state any general comments and/or an estimate of what you think it is worth paying for (in $$). Here it is:

Shape = Round
Measurements = 6.72-6.75-3.97
Cert. = GIA

Weight = 1.09 ct.
Color = H
Clarity = SI2
Cut = VG
Polish = EX
Symmetry = VG
Fluorescence = Faint Blue
Depth = 58.9%
Table = 56%
Crown Angle = 31.5
Pavillion Angle = 40.4
HCA Grade = 1.5 (BIC type) = (EX fire, scintillation, & spread; VG light return)
Girdle = Medium to Slightly thick
Cutlet = None

I''m looking forward to all thoughts. Thanks!

Yeah, that is not a great ring stone. Here''s another possibility:

Is the main problem depth?? Is that the consensus? Are there other glaring issues?

You need a deeper pavilion with that shallow crown, in the 41s.

That has the possiblity of being very beautiful! I have a stone with almost identical stats, and it''s very bright, with lots of fire.

Is this online or in a retail store?
