After much searching, I've now found the following:

Diam: 7.55 mm (7.55-7.56)
Depth: 60.7% (4.58 mm)
Table: 55.6% (4.20 mm)
Crown: 34.0 (14.8%)
Pavil: 40.8 (42.9%)
Culet: .7%
Girdle: thin to medium

Color: G
Clarity: VS2

The size is 1.57 carats.

I have two questions. Most importantly, what do you think of the cut? HCA rates it .7, excellent in everything except spread/weight (which I care about least). Also, the first (inaccurate) Sarin came back with an HCA of 1.0, though it had all 4 as excellent. Is .7 really better than 1.0? They were both TIC range. My impression was that under 2, all numbers are equal -- is that correct? Is the "excellent" on the fire/brilliance/etc (any of the above) a better "excellent" on a .7-rated HCA diamong than on a 1.0-rated HCA diamond?

(If someone could run a .gem file -- that'd be wonderful, I have the diamond calc software free version but don't want to pay $280 to be able to run this one round stone).

Also, Cut Nut, I know the HCA scale is being tweaked -- can you tell me how this diamond will do post-tweaking?

Question 2: I paid $11,700. I feel like I got a good deal. Comments?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and help.

Thanks Cut Nut. Also polish and symmetry are excellent, and there is no fluorescence.

Golfer you got "buyers remorse" ???

You surely have a beutiful stone.
Take it to a Mall and compare it to the frozen spit that is commonly on offer, and please report back :)

Sounds like a VERY nice stone. Price seems in line w/ paying a tad for service....nothing wrong with that. I think your good to go....let's us know when.
