promising.

Thanks for your reply SC, does the the price seem ok?

 

[stone-cold11]

Yap, price is on par with the stats.

It is a 60/60 type of cut. There is information on this in the diamond education advanced tutorial if you want to learn more. It is a slightly different type of cut than a traditional "Tolk" type ideal.

 

[chocolatedelight]

So not worth bothering with?

Some prefer it some don''t. Personal preference thing, although a well proportioned 60/60 is less likely than a near Tolk type cut because of the extra limitation.

Yes it could be, Dreamer is right, this diamond falls within the 60 60 proportion type, and some people really love these stones. At a guess with this stone, it is possible it could favour brilliance over fire or coloured light, ask the vendor if they can give you a description of the performance nuances. Can you get an Idealscope image?

I have just checked my emails and the salesperson at SB replied they dont do images (of any kind) so that for me kinda makes it a no for me, you would think considering im not in the USA (they know this) that they would be a bit more helpful

SB are drop shippers so it is expected.

What kind of specs are you looking at and the budget you are working with?
