Hi! I bought a RB diamond to be set in a solitaire ring setting but am now worried the pavilion angle is way too shallow. It’s 40.1 degrees with a crown of 34.6 degrees.
I thought it looked fine in the shop and sparkled quite nicely (I don’t have much experience with diamonds though). Its HCA score is 1.6, with fire, scintillation and spread rated excellent and light return rated very good. The diamond is expected to look bigger than its carat weight.
However it seems the advice is that anything below 40.5 degrees for a pavilion angle is a terrible idea.
Have I made a wrong choice with this diamond? Appreciate any help or opinions, thank you!!
