Not sure about the cut

). If crown and pavilion angles are not known, you can request your vendor to run the diamond on Sarin or Ogi machine for you.

to check the diamond yourself.

To evaluate the price you should also tell us girdle, polish, symmetry, culet and whether the diamond has been graded by any gem lab. Then you can run a search from the front page to compare prices for similar diamonds.[/u][/u][/u]

some advice: go right under 1ct with an excellent cut, and you'll have a diamond that looks way better than that one.
unless you're a total diamond purist, no reason to go so high on clarity, as long as it's invisible to the eye, who cares?
some suggestions in your price range (remember no tax if you buy online):
All these are sure to be prettier. check out the brilliancescope analyses!

The problem with the 63% is that very very few crown and pavilion combinations work well with that big table size. They do exist but it is a very small range.

If you can get the angles run them on HCA or post them here and we will do it for you.

An ideal-scope works very well in this situation too.
