Looking at this. price is 4127.00. any beware of''s or thoughts? i am especially interested in if this will "appear" to be over a carat - i have a poorly cut one carat that "appears" to be about 85 points, b/c it is so heavy. thanks all!

Yes, it''ll look about 1.3.

Make sure it's not too shallow - "fish eye" effect due to girdle reflection in table.

I think this stone is too shallow with too big of a table personally. However, if you like it that''s what counts.

I had a poorly cut stone that was too deep and had an extra thick girdle. Once I realized this, it really bothered me. I had it recut. Now it weighs less since some of the weight had to be lost in the recut. But it is a much prettier stone, better cut, looks almost the same size as before and I actually want to wear it again. Consider having your deep one recut if it bothers you. Unless of course you are able to trade it in for an upgrade.

 

[DBM]

certainly a spready stone. if it doesn''t exhibit a fish eye you''ll definitely be gaining the advantage of looking big without too much sacrfice (of course it wont'' be an ideal cut but it''s a trade-off for the "spreadiness").

I don''t suggest putting a K color into a white metal. YG would be better IMO
