Diamond Stats - Need Guidance

Hi All - I posted some stats before and received some very helpful feedback, obviously, in that I have continued my search. Thoughts on the specific diamond below - would love to see if I am moving in a better direct. Thx - PD

Keep looking, it''s HCA score is pretty bad. 5.1...

Stick within these parameters:

depth - 60 - 62% - although you can allow up to 62.4%
table - 54- 57%
crown angle - 34- 35 degrees
pavilion angle - 40.6- 41 degrees
girdle - avoid extremes, look for thin to slightly thick, thin to medium etc
polish and symmetry - very good and above

note - with crown and pavilion angles at the shallower ends ( CA 34- PA 40.6) and steeper ( CA 35- PA 41) check to make sure these angles complement in that particular diamond - eyeballs, Idealscope, trusted vendor input - check as appropriate!

Nope, not in that direction. Still a steep/deep round. Follow this guideline

Ditto, these numbers have helped many find a well cut stone. I would pass on the diamond you posted, not a good combo.
