Hi,
I'm considering this stone from James Allen but have a few concerns. I'm looking for a stone that is about .75 carats to fit the Simon G setting I'm having made. I'm trying to save money here but still get an excellent cut so Hearts and Arrows is likely out. I found this stone which scored a .8 on the Cut Adviser so that was good and I requested the idealscope which I now have
Item Number: 1288167
Shape: Round
Carat weight: 0.76
Cut: Ideal
Color: H
Clarity: VS2
Certificate: GIA - 5106316923
Depth: 61.2%
Table: 57.0%
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Girdle: Medium to slightly thick
Culet: None
Fluorescence: None
Measurements: 5.86*5.91*3.60
The angles on it are 34.5/40.6 and its faceted 4.0%.
I've been a lurker here for a while so I knew to put it in the cut adviser for pass/fail and it passed which makes me excited since the price is only $2,380 which I think for the size and cut adviser is good.
What concerns me and where I need more help: Is the 5.91 wide? I had an idealscope done and see the inner arrows have varying lengths, but the GIA certificate says excellent symmetry. Also, the date on the gia certificate is may. Has it been in inventory for a while and avoided for good reason? Am I splitting hairs here with things I probably won't even notice with the naked eye?
Thanks in advance for the help... and they do have the 30 day return policy so I can always review it in person, but would love the input of the experts here before I'd order. Thanks!
