According to the cut advisor the details are below (CA above on this site).

My only concern is the EGL cert. Otherwise, seems like a great stone.

Selected: 59.6% depth, 57% table, 13.9% crown, 43.2% pavilion, 0% culet
The result is for a symmetrical diamond with a medium girdle and very good polish

Note: HCA scores were adjusted Dec. 15, 2001 and Feb. 6, 2003.

Even though HCA grades cut more effectively than systems like the AGS, it does not yet factor in symmetry and minor facets. Having found a diamond that scores well, you should employ an expert appraiser to examine the stone. If you decide not to, then at least compare the diamond to others and/or view it through an ideal-scope.

A score below 2 (Excellent) means you have eliminated known poor performers (more than 95% of all diamonds). Your own personal preference may be for a diamond with an HCA score of 1.5 more rather than one with a lower score of say 0.5.

Many diamonds with excellent scores may not be traditional 'ideal cuts' but we believe their value will rise once the GIA establishes its cut standard.
This system is being continually fine-tuned and results may change without notice.

Thanks! Anyone else have any comments? What about the "very thin/thin girdle" -- is that a problem?
