Hi Sonoma,

It's really hard to tell by just the #'s. Have you seen the stone in person?

It's worth a shot because my EC has REALLY wonky #s and it's amazing!! I had the chance to compare it to at a lot of stones in person and it stood out by far. It's actually kinda close to those #s posted...just a larger table as well as very deep. Love the l/w ratio btw!

Unlike rounds. The numbers don't tell you much of anything with certain fancy cuts (emeralds, asschers, ovals, pears, cushions). Because it's the faceting and the cut that matters because that determines light return. And there are 1000's of good ones out there that look funky from the numbers and 1000s of bad ones out there that look great with the numbers.

I can tell you that I would want a big discount for anything that over deep. That diamond is facing up tiny for it's carat weight so I would expect the price to reflect that. That's all I can tell you though.

Is it a GIA stone? What is the polish and symmetry grade? And get a picture at the least of it. And I'll be able to tell you more.

Thanks so much ! I really appreciate your input & help.

HI Sonoma,
Yes, you need to make sure the diamond's grade for which you are paying was issued by GIA. That's one big step in determining the correct value.
But past that, any opinions given are just that- opinions.
Given that there's really no "right" answer for the numbers, it's really down to your eyes and taste.
Things that will have a greater impact on the visuals that table and depth measurements include size of corners, and placement of the facets. Neither of these pieces of info is indicated on a GIA report- and further, none of these aspects has guidelines that matter.
So, you can see a stone that you love that people advising you might not love. And neither is "wrong"

Thanks so much, Rock. It's a GIA report.
It's at the lower end of the color grades is why it appeals to me.
It's an interesting one.

My pleasure Sonoma- a place I love....

I advise consumers to get photos and video if possible- that's going to give you the best chance of eliminating a stone you surely won't like if you buy it.
Generally photos can't guarantee that you will love it either.
My feeling about ASET is that it's only useful if the person looking at the image is extremely well informed by having looked at live examples they love- then correlate that data to ASET images of those stones.
Small bit of tilt can light up dark facets in an EC.
Sometimes the cutter can produce a more shallow, larger looking stone, and get the effect of a higher crown by effectively placing the facet breaks below the girdle.
Of course sometimes a shallower stone can look really bad.
Same for deeper ones- sometimes they can look very dark in the center, and others may be lively and nice.
Of course there's a likelihood a deeper stone will look smaller than a more shallow one- but sometimes there's surprises in those departments as well.

IMO, looking in real life is really the only way to answer the prime question of how you love it.
