[butterfly10]

Can i get some thoughts on this particular diamond that i''m looking at. Someone mentioned that the depth may have been too much on a previous diamond...is 62.2% considered deep? can someone enlighten me on that?

looks pretty eye clean, can anyone find any visible inclusions, i cant see any?

Hi Butterfly

The depth is fine but this is not a well cut diamond, leakage can be clearly seen in the loupe image, I would keep looking personally. If you give us an idea of budget for the diamond, we could maybe suggest some diamonds you might like?

Steep/deep - the photo shows clear leakage.

hi there, thank you for suggestions

my budget is $2200 max

looking for F-H
.65 - .70
VS2-SI1
excellent cuts

i would be felxible on the colour (lowest H) and size if it meant i got a VS2

something along these lines xoxoxoxox

EDIT: i was also looking at this diamond: http://www.whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-2192324.htm#

This one looks great

I really like it!

It says under light performance - 0
Will this grading make the stone look larger than .64?

here are the details:


Report: AGS
. Shape: Round Ideal Cut
. Carat: 0.642
. Depth %: 61.7
. Table %: 55.9
. Crown Angle: 34.7
. Crown %: 15.3
. Star : 56
. Pavilion Angle: 40.7
. Pavilion %: 42.9
. Lower Girdle %: 75
. Girdle: Thin to Medium Faceted
. Measurements: 5.51-5.55X3.41
. Light Performance: 0
. Polish: Ideal
. Symmetry: Ideal
. Culet: Pointed
. Fluorescence: Negligible

 

[butterfly10]

is negligible fluoresence something to worry about on a F grade stone?

 

[yssie]

It's very well cut, so it'll have edge to edge light return whereas poorly cut stones leak at the edges, so it'll look bigger if they're compared

It's a beautiful choice!! Neg fluor definitely isn't an issue.

WF stone looks good.

These 2 look promising. Ask JA if they are eye-clean and request for idealscope if interested.
