Perfect Princess Cut Diamond?

[JaTe]

I am new here...been reading a lot and gaining a lot of information.

I am looking to propose to my gf soon and we have been looking at different rings and stones.

We finally decided that a solitare with Princess cut diamond would look best on her petite hand.

What do you think of this diamond I found online? Should I do it?

Shape: Signature Princess
Lab: GIA
Carat: 1.21
Color: F
Clarity: VVS2
Measurements: 5.85 x 5.85 x 4.21
Depth: 72%
Table: 72%
Crown Height: 9.5%
Polish: VG
Symmetry: VG
Cutlet: None
Girdle: Slightly Thick to Thick
Fluorescence: None
Price: $7,654

Is there any questions that I should be asking the seller?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi JaTe, and welcome! I'm not an expert on princess cuts, but I hope this will at least bump up your post. Researcher and moremoremore are the resident consumer experts in princess cuts around here -hopefully they'll have a better answer for you. Or maybe one of the vendors or appraisers can help out.

The only thing I remember hearing (reading) here often is that the best performers in princess cuts seem to have crowns of at least 10% and have slightly greater depths than tables, with top depths no more than 74%. I think. Again, not the expert speaking! Good luck, though, I'm sure someone will chime in here in the next day or two

You need to see the diamonds , before buying look at both side by side and you can then know if a 9% or 10% crown height is affecting the brilliance.

Ask the person you are purchasing the diamond from if they have any education in this field. Keep in touch.
