How big does this face up?

[split_shank]

I was hoping someone could help me out in letting me know about a diamond. I have a 1.1 ct square radiant that measures appx. 6.1x6.6... I was told this faces up larger than 1.1. I am having a hard time finding a radiant measurement chart. Can you tell me *approximately* this faces up at on average? Thanks!

Hi, I have seen this size chart posted on PS before. It has many different shapes and cuts. Keep in mind that every diamond has different proportions.

Thanks! I was looking at that chart earlier and it seems their radiants are more rectangular (5x7,6X8 etc) Am I wrong to assume that radiants that are more square are similar for figuring face size? EX: 6x6 square (36sq.mm) is similar in face size as appx. 5x7 rectangular (35sq.mm)? I know there are a lot more in determining size, but just on average.

If you want to compare your dimensions to the most commonly cut radiants, I suggest going to bluenile.com and searching for the carat size you want. They have a ton, so you can compare dimensions across several carat weights.

The amazon chart posted above is a bit generous.
