Hey guys, this is my first post on the forum. I've been looking into purchasing a diamond/ring and this has been one of the contenders thus far:
http://www.b2cjewels.com/dd-4270674-1.50-carat-Round-diamond-I-color-VVS1-clarity.aspx
Carat Weight:1.50
Cut:Very Good
Color:I
Clarity:VVS1
Price($):10127.91
Lab Name:GIA
Certificate No:2131888070
Depth:57.40
Table:59.00
Polish:Excellent
Symmetry:Very Good
Girdle:TN-M
Culet:Medium
Fluorescence:Medium Blue
Ratio:0.00
Measurements:7.52x7.55x4.33
It seems like a nice diamond, larger-looking than it's weight indicates, and the stats that I've been looking at...good HCA score of 1.0... the only issue that I have with it is the medium culet... I'm not a diamond expert at all and there seems to be very little info on culet's impact on visual characteristics of the diamond... on top of that, I keep reading conflicting opinions on some pages that medium culet is still not visible with the naked eye, and on others that medium culet starts contributing to light loss... with the shallower diamond, I'm concerned about it... so... what are your thoughts on the diamond? do you think medium culet is a big problem? should I stay away form this diamond because of it? does anyone have pictures of a diamond (yours or any other) with a medium culet... I just need help...
Thanks!
