Hi, Where can I find an image listing the diamond cut characteristics and what characteristics are good. I have looked for one but haven''t had luck. I have the GIA report for my diamond but dont know what all the numbers mean on the diamond. I want to post the data to see what you all think about the diamond.


Thanks a lot.

Hansokl,

Do you mean that you want opinions on the cut of your diamond? If so, post this information which you should find on your GIA report-

depth %
table%
crown angle
pavilion angle
polish and symmetry grades
girdle thickness
diameter measurement

Or do you mean you want some guidance as to good proportions for a round diamond?

If you have the report, you can just post a picture of that. We can get all of the numbers off of it for you. Otherwise, I'm sure GIA has one on its website, otherwise, I'm pretty sure its on the back of the GIA diamond report, or the Diamond Dossier, whichever one you have. If you just have a scanned copy of it, you can always just post that. I'll see if I can find the pic really quick.

ETA: Here's a great link for you from GIA's website:

http://www.diamondcut.gia.edu/05_diamond_anatomy.html

That should give you all the info you need.

The depth is from table to culet. The crown angle is the angle fromed at the girdle upward to the crown at the bezel, or main facet. The opposite for the pavilion angle. Hope this helps.
