Hi so I have pretty much decided to go with this diamond, but I want to know how bad could the numbers be due to rounding? I don't know how much GIA rounds exactly. I am very happy with the price, provided you lot think this diamond seems safe. I have had some input in another thread, but it was a comparison between two and I've narrowed it down to this one and would therefore like some more info.

.73 G VS2 EX VG EX
HCA 0.8
5.82 - 5.85 x 3.58 mm
Depth: 61.3
Table: 54
Crown angle 34.5
Crown height 15.5
Pavilion angle 40.6
Pavilion depth 42.5
Star length 50%
Lower half 80%
Medium (3%).
No fluorescence
No culet
Cloud, feather, laser inscribed.
GIA cert number: 2176646478

No pics available, can't get them so going by numbers alone. So I know that GIA round numbers, but by how much? E.g. Could the crown angle be 34.3 or 34.7 and rounded to 34.5 or would they have to be 34.4-34.6? Same question with the pavilion. Table/depth numbers not a concern to me.

Bonus question - since this stone is VS2 and the cloud is written first, does that mean the feather would be VS1 in size or smaller?

Thanks.
 
I do not recommend buying a diamond blind with no magnified images or idealscope images. It may be fine or it may have a some leakage. You can't assume the feather is VS1 level when the clarity is VS2...you need magnified images to see the inclusions. I hope your vendor can at least give you details on the inclusions. As long as you have a good return policy and can check it out yourself or by an appraiser, it may be worth a try.
