THANKS!!

Hi ckoobs, welcome to PS

The numbers on that diamond are very poor. It will most likely be a fish-eye and very unattractive.

If you would like some help searching for a diamond with better cut, just post your size, color and clarity preferences and a budget.

Ditto that...

Thanks for the quick replies!
Yeah, from the little I have learned, those numbers didn''t seem like other ones I had seen on here. So that proportionality section affects how the light bounces and reflects/refracts, right?

So it just won''t shine/fire as nicely as others?

You are on the right track. A diamond with poor proportions reflects light away from the viewer's eyes instead of toward.

Have you read all the parts of the "Knowledge" section? Here is the page which explains fish-eye http://diamonds.pricescope.com/fisheye.asp

yap, with fish-eye, it will look as bad as an I clarity stone.
