Help with specs on potential purchase

[JenniferMarie90]

Hi there. Looking at this estate diamond, priced at $3650. I put the specs into holloway cut calculator and it said the girdle is dangerously thin. Perhaps i put the specs in wrong as the GIA certification says “medium to thick”?
Any input? Thank you!

This is how my calculations came out:

I pulled the number off the GIA Report directly. It was graded 9/15/16, so I'd assume it was previously worn, so unless you can examine under 20x minimum, it may be damaged. Unless it is has a maple leaf on the girdle, there is no way for them to know it is a non-conflict.

In any case, its a steep deep and only GIA Very Good for cut. Not very attractive to me...

Yeah I figured the nonconflict thing was bogus. It is estate so it was previously worn which doesn't bother me. Not worth the consideration though? I am not super knowledgeable about diamonds, just the basics so I'm trying not to get swindled.

Most of us would pass. But have a look in natural light. I think you'll see the center grey out and the arrows kinda hard to detect.

Best comp. $2987 usd. Would expect to pay no more than 40% = $1194 usd (on the outside).
