Need help with princess of hearts cut

[slats 4]

Hi all,
I'll keep this post relatively short because I'm posting from my phone. I know little about diamonds but have learned a great deal thanks to this site. Now I need some help! What are your thoughts on this diamond? I don't care for the cut proportions, but I'd it a big deal with the poh? All of the other pohs I have seen, all have had similar proportions as to width, length, depth, table % etc. This one however is different. Thoughts?

Thanks from a very confused dude.

It is absolutely beautiful! I see nothing whatsoever wrong with it! I can't even think what you might mean because it is a top cut quality stone!

I can see why you're confused! It lists the diagonal measurement as the length! So...AGS shows measurements like this and it looks like GOG is following suit. The number you look at is the 4.99. The stone will be square (4.99 mm x 4.99 mm). A POH of 4.99 will appear larger than a round of 4.99 mm because of the entire "square footage".

You can have the stone set to you unset for review prior to shipping it back for setting. That's what I did with my POH from GOG. BTW, Princess of Hearts are so well cut they are mesmerizing (seriously, I spend too much time looking at it all day). However, on small ones like mine the "ring holder" they ship it with overshadows the stone so my POH is 50 times more sparkly in my ring than in that "ring holder" thingy. Just an FYI.

Lastly, definitely get a setting that shows off that gorgeous cut corner shape. Putting in a 4 prong setting makes me sad...

BTW, if you want a larger selection to choose from - have GOG video this stone along with similarly priced Jubilees. They are lower clarity, but with a fantastic cut it hides many inclusions. My stone is an eye clean I1! Highly recommended as a "bang for your buck" way to get a larger stone.

This G has some scary looking black inclusions, but I wonder if that's just online. I can't imagine anyone would cut a POH into something with major obvious inclusions - http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/9442/ As GOG what this looks like in real life.

This may be pushing it too much - but here's a 1 carat I1 at $4300:

Thanks for the replies. Guess I was misinterpreting some of the measurements. Should I be concerned at all with the table or depth %s. ?

Also, I am thinking of a setting something like the one below. How do you think that would look with a square vs a round diamond? Thoughts?

If the link doesn't work it's the Sholdt r206 design.

Thanks
