I really don't know much about princess cuts- and you rEALLY need ASET images and pictures to determine cut quality and performance of the stone. Jut looking at the dimensions and depth- I think it seems deep. Others will chime in though that know more about princess cuts.


Also- EGL is know to grade software to expect color and clarity o this stone to truly be 2 grades lower according to GiA- thus affecting ting the price.

Yea just looked into it- a 2.5ct princess should be 8.0mmX8.0mm! Thia stone is too deep and facing up too small for its carat weight

I would not purchase this diamond because you have no idea of the cut quality which will determine how sparkly it is. Also a very thin girdle can sometimes pose a chipping risk. The depth is fine but the table is huge. Really though you can't go by the numbers and you need images to evaluate princess cuts. If you want an awesome princess cut I would look for one graded by AGS that gets their ideal light performance grade.

Ditto. I wouldn't consider a stone with a very thin girdle, and I also wouldn't buy any stone without a GIA or AGS lab report.
