Does this look like a good one? First time buyer.

[tubbles527]

I am looking for a stone that will emphasize quality over size. I am on a budget ($3000 for the rock) and I found this one which looks good. I based my specs on Raymonds thread (https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/looking-for-validation.81540/)

It comes from a reputable online dealer whom I found out about on this site. It has a GIA report.

Shape: Round
Carat weight: 0.72
Cut: Ideal
Color: G
Clarity: VS2
Certificate: GIA

Depth: 60.7%
Table: 57.0%
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Girdle: Thin to medium
Culet: None
Fluorescence: None
Measurements: 5.82*5.85*3.54

Would it help if I posted the GIA report or any important info from it?

PS - price for above is $2600+/-

TIA!

Welcome and yes please give us the pavilion and crown angles

Also, you can plug the numbers into this tool http://www.pricescope.com/cutadviser.asp to weed out bad performing stones.

GIA cut is very good but this came up in a search of IDEAL cut diamonds at jamesallen.

Crown specs:
14.5%
34.0 deg

Pav specs:
43.5%
41.2 deg

Like I said earlier, I get either a 1.6 or a 2.9.

This diamond has a lot of potential, but because of the pavillion angle I would ask for an idealscope pic first.

Ditto Ellen on the Idealscope pic.. but thought I would just throw another stone into the mix for you to look at.

It''s a Whiteflash ACA... so awesome cut.

0.73ct H&A, AGS0 Ideal cut H SI1... $2760 before PS discount.

If eyeclean I''d go for the WF unless as Ellen says the idealscope or Aset of the first proves to be just as good.
