Opinion on Diamond and Question about ring setting

[methree]

I would like to get some comments on the following diamond. Also, how much of an effect does the ring setting have on the diamond itself or is this purely a matter of personal preference? Thank you.



Measurement: 6.33 - 6.42 x 4.01
Carat weight: 1.01
Cut: Ideal
Color: E
Clarity: SI1
Depth%: 62.9%
Table%: 57%
Crown Height%: 13
Pavilion Depth% 45
Symmetry: Very Good
Polish: Very Good
Girdle: Medium
Culet: None
Fluorescence: None

Grading by EGL

Am I better off looking for grading done by GIA?

For one, anyone who puts the label ''Ideal'' on this stone, is wrong.

The diameter of the stone is way too small, the girdle too thick, the total depth too deep, and so on. On the other hand, if you have it graded by GIA, they do not even grade proportions or cut.

Live long,

So not one I should consider for purchase.

It''s far from Ideal. Have you seen this stone??

 

[methree]

So what would this be considered? Good?

the average diameter of a 1 carat round is 6.5mm. the stone you posted is 6.3 whichs means you will be paying for a 1 carat stone but it will look smaller than a one carat stone.

i know everybody has their own "ideal cut specs" but,here''s what i would like to see on paper.i would still like to see the stone before the purchase.

table 54-56%,
total depth 60.8-61.2%
crown angle 34.3-34.6
pavil angle 40.7-40.8
pavil depth 42.8-43%
girdle thin-med faceted,
gia ex/ex or ags id/id
true H&A cut
HCA score 1.0-1.5

with all the measurements in a very tight range not more than .3'' and .3% variance
