Hi,
I need help deciding whether or not to buy this diamond. I probably have to make a final decision by Monday.
It's a GIA triple EX with a HCA of 1.9. More measurements are below.
Table: 57%
Depth: 62.3%
Crown Angle: 36.0%
Pavillion Angle: 40.6%
Girdle: Slightly Thick (4.0%)
I'm worried about light return and brilliance. I've included an Ideal Scope image of the diamond at the bottom of this. What do you think of the leakage/light return of this stone? What kind of brilliance score (%) do you think this would score?
What I like about this diamond is the contrast and optical symmetry of it compared to my other options (unfortunately, no images on those). I like seeing the arrows pop when I see a stone. Also, I'm more into fire and scintillation than brilliance but am really looking for all three.
Do you think I should buy this diamond??
Thanks for all the help. I've been learning so much from this forum and I appreciate the insights I find here.
Have a great weekend everyone!
