Help, 1.2 Emerald Cut Advise - Decision

grover3606 · May 8, 2015

Hi All,

Been researching on PriceScope for awhile now, and this is my first post. I am currently in the market for a 1-1.2 carat Emerald cut with l/w ~1.4-1.5. One of my leading choices includes a cavity in the crown, and I'm looking for advice on it. Is this cavity likely to have durability issues? There are also crystals in the table, but I have been told it is eye clean.

Thanks so much for your thoughts

Did JA provide you with an ASET of this EC? I don't think this one is a particularly well cut diamond. SI1s are generally not eye clean for ECs and given that the inclusion is smack dab in the table area, it might not be eye clean when light hits it just right. Given the negatives prior, I would toss it out of contention.

Hi Chrono,

Thank you for your reply.

Here is the ASET image as provided by James Allen

What indicates that this isn't a well cut diamond? I'm still a noob.
