Is that price fair?

assuming that the stone is G.I.A certed it's over prices by about $400.00, I pesonally like the table to be around the low 70's.which would give it a bigger appearance looking at it from the top.

Looks like a more than fair price, if GIA certed.

It's tough to tell without having the complete specs (crown height?, pavilion depth?), but it looks like a more than fair price to me.

hello,

im no expert, but i thought table and depth percentages should be a little lower than the 70's? according to the AGA cut chart it would be a 1B-2A if table% was in the low 70's... let me add, from reading everything on this site i know well enough not to trust numbers alone, as well as charts. however, they are meant to be a tool to weed out various stones. i was not aware that a table in the low 70's gives a larger appearance. course diamondsman and rich sherwood know just a little bit more than i do. also, im sure that a diamond in the AGA grade of 1B or 2A is not a shabby performer either. I am currently looking for a princess as well and from what ive read there isn't any standard info for table and depth percentages; its more about seeing it in person. oh well, im having so much fun in my diamond search and learning process, i bid you good luck!

Rookie asked about Price - not cut.
PS vendor are v competitively priced.

But, with all the posturing on cut, I will mention that the table on my princess is 62 (depth 70) & throws off rainbows like you wouldn't believe. Generally speaking, the larger the table, the more brillance (white light flashes). Not my thing but many people like it & it's much easier to find a larger table-d princess.

I wish the girdle were a bit thinner but if you've looked at it & you're happy with it, then the price sounds quite reasonable.

The larger the table the greater the brilliance? I disagree! Typo?

Anyhoo- that's a fine looking stone...by the #s anyway! Go see it

I am not sure why larger tables would make stones look larger - smaller depth surely does (less of the stone's volume is locked in the large pavilion which remains unseen). It is kown that stones with very large table need to be very deep to be brilliant.

All in all, such rules of thumb are overly simplistic - you would need a serious set of data to model light return in a princess cut and specialized software. Dealers do not go that far on their hundreds of stones listed but not in stock. This would be impossible.

Cut, is part of the stone's value. This one has a good price and good chances to look great ased on those few number.

Hope this helps.
