Hi.
Just discovered this forum and it looks like an amazing resource.
I have been engagement ring shopping for the past month or so. I live in NYC and have been working with a reputable person in the diamond district who has successfully assisted several of my work colleagues in the past.
I am very close to buying the stone below and I wanted to see what people on the board think.
Here are the stats:
Round Brilliant
Measurements: 7.58 - 7.64 x 4.72 mm
Carat Weight: 1.70 carat
Color Grade: G
Clarity Grade: VS2
Cut Grade: Excellent
Proportions:
Depth: 62.0%
Table: 58%
Crown Angle: 35.0°
Crown Height: 15.0%
Pavilion Angle: 40.8°
Pavilion Depth: 43.0%
Star length: 45%
Lower Half: 80%
Girdle: Medium to Slightly Thick, Faceted
Culet: None
Finish:
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluorescence: None
The price of the diamond is $16.4K. Is this a fair price for this stone?
I also have a few other questions:
1. I was under the impression that Cut, Symmetry and Polish should all be excellent to achieve maximum fire and brilliance which is very important to me. Should I be concerned that the polish is only Very Good?
2. From what I read the ideal table % is 52.4-57.5 and this one is just outside of this range. Is this a concern as well?
3. Are there are other factors that stand out here that I should be concerned with?
I am trying make a decision today so any guidance you could provide me with would be huge.
Thanks in advance for your help.
