You really need to post crown and pavillion angles for a more informed opinion.

From the info you gave,.... This diamond is a deep cut which means you will pay for carat weight you don't see. A well cut .7 carat will have about the same diameter.

Price is a bit high as well. Price Scope Vendors offer comparable diamonds in the range of $2100 - $2200.

When looking at GIA Certed diamonds, look for Very Good to Excellent Symmetry. Those diamonds will tend to be the better performers. You might also consider getting an Ideal Scope and calibration CZ to help you screen for light leakage in diamonds you view in person.

Any other opinions?
 
Florida....please see the above post by PQ. The folks here cannot offer meaningful opinions until you gather enough information. The crown/pavilion angles help identify the make of the stone, which in turn affects performance/price.




Once you do that, we'll be able to give you meaningful feedback.
 
Where do you get the crown and pavillion diameters from? I have a copy of the GIA report and it doesn't show it anywhere.

Thanks for your help.
 
You'll need to get a Sarin or OGI run on the diamond.

Here's an example of a Sarin Report plot. It notes all the angles of the major facets of the crown and pavillion as well as a drawing of the girdle thickness.
