Hi gang.
A vendor has a stone that meets my desired specs (2ct RB/si1/I+). Based on these measurements how do you expect the stone to perform? I read the thread on 41 degree pavilion angles but didn''t see a reference to a stone with these stats (59% table/32 degree crown)
Here the are:
GIA 2009 cert
Style: Round Brilliant
Measurements: 8.34*8.38*4.93mm
Weight: 2.05ct
Clarity: SI1 (eye-clean)
Color: H
Cur Grade: Excellent
Finish:
Polish - VG
Symmetry - VG
Flor: none
Table - 59%
Depth - 59.0%
Crown - 32.0 degrees
Pavilion - 41.0 degrees
Girdle - thin-medium (faceted)
FYI - HCA 1.1
My concerns:
1) VG symmetry -- does the HCA even apply to this stone?
2) Crown angle -- I''m no expert but 32 seems a bit low, no?
Basically, I''m asking to see what people would do with a stone like this assuming it''s ~18-19k. I haven''t seen the stone yet but according to the vendor (who I trust b/c I''ve worked with him before) it''s a very nice stone. Thanks so much!
