Welcome!

Unfortunately we can't tell much at all without images such as ASET and detailed photographs, who is selling this diamond? Also GIA does not have an ideal cut, the only somewhat meaningful use of this term is by AGS labs who can award a 0 cut grade or AGS0 to a deserving Princess diamond. Otherwise vendor applied labels such as Ideal Cut are no guarantee of a well cut stone. The diamond has potential from the info given but without images that is all we can really say...

You could request an ASET preferably, or Idealscope image from the vendor and a photograph, see what they say?

You need an ASET to judge light return on princess cuts....you can''t just go by numbers. Is a pricescope vendor selling this diamond?

 

[metalrulez20]

what is ASET??

I don''t think UD will supply any images, but you could ask.

 

[Mrs W]

What is your budget? Maybe we could find something for you...

I found this diamond, you would need to check it is eyeclean to your standards. It isn't cut to the highest standards but it is a well cut stone nevertheless and looks very attractive, so I thought it was worth showing you, especially if you want a nicely cut and colourless stone on a budget. If you are interested in this diamond, ask WF to reserve it for you.
