Do you have the crown and pavilion angles please? Personally I would pass with fair symmetry and that wide diameter variance....Have you seen the diamond?

 

[whotheyare]

Ditto, maybe we could see what is out there for you and make suggestions?

fair symmetry on a round would have me running. (away)

HI:

Do you have to have that exact size? I see some really wonderful Infinity stones that are superbly cut, but are a bit smaller and are lower in color/clarity. The latter wouldn''t bother me at all, b/c of the superb cut specs.

Definitely check these out WTA.

Wow, that''s pretty large for a single stud!

BTW- GIA does NOT use the word "finish" on their reports...are you sure this is a GIA report?

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Wow is right! I think that would tear out my earlobe!

i wanted to get 2ct stud but might have to settle with 1.55, i thought the fair symmetry might be ok since it is as earring and si2 im ok with...

is symmetry really big issue? greatly affect brilliance?

Fair symmetry implies the diamond is not well cut, personally I would not want such a diamond - I would insist on at least good symmetry or above. Symmetry is less critical to beauty and performance than the crown and pavilion angles ( which we don't have). What you could do is order an ASET or Idealscope to check this diamond out yourself if you don't want to look for a better one.

If it is a recent GIA report, yes.
