Hello,
I need help deciding a a diamond for an engagement ring. I found a 1.00 ct pear 8.47 x 5.72 x 3.56 d/vs1; 62.2% t.depth; 51% table; no fluor; small to no cutlet; pol/sym both good; girdle slightly thin to slightly thick; pavilion and crown, I don't have exact %s but after looking at dozens of stones and doing lots of reseach I can say they are well proportioned to each other. i.e. the crown isn't to thin the pav. doesn't seem overly thick. The jeweler is asking $6400. My concerns are with the small table and slightly large t.depth. I know the AGA suggest a t.depth of up to 63% for quality cut pears, but I have also heard not to go over 61% to maintain maximum quality. My number one concern is with the cut and minimizing the bowtie effect. Could someone coment on this stone and give me some advice.
