Have you seen it with your own eyes, or just online? If you''ve seen it in person, then it might be the stone for you. It technically falls outside of what is considered "ideal" range and it would probably be classified as a 60/60 diamond. You can do a search on the forum for more info on those. I have a 60/60 and personally love the look of it. It looks like a good buy to me!

It could be a nice diamond especially if you like the slightly larger table, have you seen it or is it with an online vendor? It depends on what you want, if you want a tightly crafted superideal diamond then this may not be it, if you want a '' nice make'' of diamond which is well cut then this one might fit the bill.

As the others have suggested, it''s a 60/60 stone, which some people really love the look of. They tend to have more brilliance and less fire. It could be a really lovely stone, but I would suggest only going for this if you have seen the look of these stones and love them.

If not, I would suggest a tighter cut Ideal stone. A bit smaller table size, and the right crown and pavillion angles, and it will be a stone with more balance between white light and fire.

Good luck.
