Need comments about a diamond I just viewed

[ready]

I just looked at a 1.31C round diamond, G color, VS1, EGL LA cert. I don't have all of the specs yet on angles, but the depth is 55.5 and the table is 61.4. It is a firey stone. The broker showed it to me, flipped upside down, through some sort of scope that showed it's hearts and arrows characteristics. Does this make it hearts and arrows quality cut? Asking price is $7000.

Any help is appreciated.

yes, and no. it depends on how accurate and symetrical the Hearts were. but basically yeah, it is "H&A" if it shows the pattern, even if it is not branded. however, usually the branded ones are pretty strict on what they will call an "H&A" or not...

i would also recommend reading the H&A tutorial here, as well as at www.goodoldgold.com they are both very helpful.
