Hi All...
I just bought a solitaire ring with a brilliant cut diamond, after going through some study and visited a couple shops. Details of the stones are:
0.9 carat
Table - 57%
Depth - 64.3%
Crown angle - 36.5%
Pavilion angle - 41.2%
Girdle - slightly thick - thick (faceted, 5.0%)
Measurement - 6.03 - 6.07x3.89mm
I thought I got a good bargain initially and happily in the preparation to ask the important question. But a friend of mine showed me her stone yesterday of 0.75carat and her stone appears to be pretty similar size to mine!!! Further study over the night makes me realised depth of 64.3% and the thick girdle might be the key of the visual difference. Also, 6.03-6.07 measurement seem a bit too small for a 0.9carat stone, compare to 63mm average that I saw from James Allen website. 0.3 might not sound much but it is 5% smaller in term of overall diameter of the stone and it is good enough to put an engineer in dilemma.
My question is should I return the stone to get a different one with shallower depth? Appreciate if you help with my dilemma.
Thanks...
