Is this CA okay?

[plummiecat]

I found a diamond that I am interested in for a stud earring. I'm concerned about the CA since I thought the "ideal" range is 34-35. Here are the stats:

Table 57
CA 33.5
depth 61.3
PA 41
HCA 1.1

What do you think?

I think it depends on how all the angles work together. Personally I love a really high crown, but it's only good when the proportions all work together, kwim? According to the AGA cut grading chart a CA of 33.5 falls into the 1B category.

Thanks for the info Christina!

I think the key is matching two stones. I might not eliminate that stone for earrings, but I'd have to have another very similar from the same vendor in case I ever wanted to trade-in. Still, I find it best to just get the more typical ideal cuts for studs, personally.

These are great points!
