How to determine cut quality

[jbraves17]

I''m planning on purchasing an e-ring for my gf very soon, and I want to make sure I get the most for my money. As I''m sure most people do!

I know certified diamonds describe the cut quality, but what exact information can you look at to determine if you are looking at a well cut diamond?

Incase needed...I''m looking at going with a RB, somewhere between .65-.75 F-H, VS1-SI1, just depending on the actual stone.

I''m new to all this diamond "lingo" and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

J

There is a lot of information on PS plus some tools to use (check the TOOLS header).

Here are some parameters for most ideal cut stones:

table: 54-57

depth: 60-62

crown angle: 34-35

pavilion angle: 40.6-41.0

girdle: thin, medium, or slightly thick

Thanks for the replys. I just finished reading GOG''s insight to cut quality...it was very helpful and informative. I might just consider purchasing from them now.

GOG would be a great place to buy from. Excellent customer service and beautiful stones.

And also the advise and expertise of a trusted vendor is invaluable when shopping.
