Looking for feedback on diamond -- Great HCA -- Seems Shallow

[spoonsy]

This diamond seems to be a great deal given its stats and HCA Score, but some of the numbers (table, depth, and star length) seem to be a good bit outside of the recommended ranges I've seen. Is this too shallow of a diamond? Please let me know if you have any thoughts! Thank you in advance.

That is a very interesting combination. It closer to a 60/60 style diamond and I'd expect it to have more white light than fire. But, that CA is not bad. But, I strongly recommend you get an IS or ASET image. GIA rounds there values and if that PA is closer to 40.5 you have a leaky stone. Can the vendor provide images for you?

If to many of the pavilion mains go under 40.5 it may have contrast issues.
The gia rounding then averaging then grossly rounding means the numbers are not enough to tell.
It is unlikely to have leakage issues unless the pavilion is badly twisted.

Thanks @Karl_K @!

I personally call it @msop04 combo.
Like Karl said, as long as it does not have obstruction issues, it should be a beautiful stone

It will appear larger than most 2ct stones because of lack of peripheral edge leakage.
the only issue is if you are short sighted and want to look at the diamond from a hand spand distance

@Garry H (Cut Nut) that’s a brilliant gif!

What is the best way to speak to the obstruction and contrast pattern changes you might see? Just have @Garry H (Cut Nut) post an excellent .gif Nice!!!!
