Welcome!

It looks to be a well cut stone, it is at my personal cutoff for depth, but also it has a medium to thick girdle, so it may be facing up a little small for it''s weight, so you may not quite get the look of 1.5cts. Is it with an online vendor, and can you get an Idealscope image for this diamond?

Hi,

It''s from a local reputable jewlery shop. I checked it out with the idealscope, and it looked pretty good. I could see the arrows. However, being new at this, I'' m not sure what is good or not! Unfortunately, I do not have the pictures from the scope.

I checked out the prices on bluenile, and they are selling their diamonds for about 3k more. Last when I checked rapport, it should be selling for 19. It sounds like a good deal, is it?!

Measurements: 7.23 - 7.32 x 4.54 mm.....maybe a little off round? reason for the Symmetry graded Very Good

Girdle: Medium to Thick, Faceted....reason this stone made the 1.5ct magic # weight.

Not according to what John Q once told me DF, this diamond wouldn't be considered off round.
