Standard Caveat: You can't judge a Princess by the numbers alone.

That said: I've looked at dozens of Princess cuts over the last few months and I tend to prefer stones with tables smaller than their total depth and with specifications generally within the AGA 1A-2A range.

Look at www.gemappraisers.com for more information on the cut charts.

Those messages were alot of help. I'm now on my quest for a much smaller table % along w/ other specs that I'm interested in before I go and take a look at the rock..

Thank you very much
