Because you advised a poster that the girdle on the diamond they were considering was undesirable. It is not. Do this, look at the Princess diamonds in the Search by Cut feature which will bring up top cut Princess, with the GIA graded stones ( AGS grade girdles in percentages) you will see most if not all have variations such as thin to medium, thin to slightly thick and so on.Date: 3/17/2010 1:48:11 PM

Lorelei, I honestly don''t understand how you can say I gave inaccurate information. A more even girdle is more desirable than a girdle with wide ranges. And while very thin and very thick/thick girdles are obviously not desirable, that doesn''t make wide ranges in between desirable even if it is common. And a straight medium girdle is more desirable than a thick girdle. I honestly don''t understand why you are advocating that uneven girdles are desirable. An uneven girdle may not be a deal breaker when considering all other factors. But it certainly is a consideration when evaluating stones. If all other factors are the same, a stone with an even girdle within range is superior to a stone with an uneven girdle within range.
