This stone by the numbers only appears to be a deep stone as the table is spread and the total depth is 62%

But without seeing it I can''t tell you how its light return is. This is a typical average cut diamond.

If that is what you want, then get it checked if you''re unsure (and you should be).

Fast? That''s not real good in shopping for diamonds. Take your time and learn and see as much as you can.

The table is waaaaay large. It will make the diamond look bigger at the expense of scintillation. Why VVS1? You can get an completely eye clean stone in a VS2 and save $.

You are missing a bunch of stats like pav and crown angles that would help make an analysis. By the size of the table though, this diamond is not considered ideal...so if you choose it, don''t pay an ideal price....

I''d pass.

I think you can do much better. Trade off the high clarity and low cut for high cut stats and lower clarity. Clarity is invisible to the naked eye in most cases (look for an eye-clean SI1 or SI2 which is harder to find, or at the highest a VS2), and cut makes all the difference in the world on the sparkle and "life" of a diamond. A search on PS shows that there are well cut stones available for less than you are considering. Call some of these vendors. Tell them what your parameters are, and let them help you find a great stone in your price range.

You''d be paying for what you are getting...
