How thin is too thin?

[MichelleCarmen]

Would a 1.2%(.9-1.5)girdle be considered too thin on a .91 carat diamond?

Thanks,
Michelle

Thats exactly what the girdle % is for my stone (1.552ct). It didnt bother me one bit. Just be sure to get a secure setting. I got a 4 prong & had my ring insured. I enjoy it everyday & dont think about chipping or any other defects that **could** go wrong.

Michelle -

Mine is .9-1.4 and doing fine! 4 prong plat head.

I see lots of diamonds with girdles at 0.7% and these are in ideal cut branded diamonds.

Regarding Iceman's picture is it not okay if only a small part of the girdle is very thin or extremely thin? I thought I read that somewhere on the boards.

Thanks everyone. . .lol - I just had to laugh at the photo in my profile part on the left of the screen!!! hahaha - okay, I have NO idea how I ended up being a guy!

Guess I'd better change that.

Hi Michelle,
Your girdle is just fine. It might be thin but thin is ok!
