Depth is ok, untill 62.5 on the table isn't true?
Yes, angle il 35.5 and not 35
But I have those images, are real.

Here on PS, the recommendation is to stay < or = 62.3 and since you can't get the performance images, I'd really try to stick with that. That's why people keep trying to point you to the Brian Gavin stone. It is a good deal, and you have all the information to know that it will shine and shine....but it costs a couple hundred more.

Zoara aren't giving you light performance images. (the red and black one) Looks like this:






edit to add- The BG stone is sold. (It really was a good deal....)

The Typical GIA Triple Excellent is not so good as Heart and Arrows. Is it true?

I thought it was better to look for good parameters and hearts and arrows in a red picture. And if the diamond does not have the structure of the heart and arrows, then it is not so beautiful and perfect.

Hearts and Arrows shows how symmetric the facets are. It is not light performance. You can have a H/A stone that performs poorly. Just as you can have a non H/A stone that performs great.

You want a stone that performs great!

Triple X is a cut grade. Hearts and arrows is not a cut grade.

Having hearts and arrows is icing on the cake (it's nice, but not necessary). It is much better to get the best parameters you can.

A super ideal cut stays in the best parameters, but doesn't always have perfect H/A. (I know, I have one!)

This is a K. It is a super ideal cut. It does not have perfect H/A:

I would go with your 3rd stone. It has the best parameters.

So, respect parameters (table, angle, depth) is THE Most important thing?

In your case, since you have no other information to look at (no performance information) and haven't spent long researching diamonds , then I would stay strict.

May be a possibility. Crown angle is a little shallow, but everything else is good. I've seen a 33.5 crown do nicely. And this is not a sample image. It is the actual stone.

In this video, the middle diamond has a 33.5 crown angle:
