Background: I plan to leave for overseas to propose in little over 2 weeks. I put a deposit down on a diamond. Jeweler is in LA diamond district - pretty well known. They are also putting together a custom setting. I can propose with a simple solitaire. However, I am a little suspect now on the cut. I got the full dimensions of the rock after the fact (not exactly bright of me, pardon the pun). My total spend with this guy is pretty reasonable I see no reason why I can't change my mind for a different stone and still keep the deposit credit with him. Time is of the essence though.
Problem: I have a deeper pavilion than ideal.
total figures -
57 table,
61.5 depth,
CA 34.5 deg, CH 14.9%
<<<< PA 41.3 deg, PD ~43.7%>>>>
girdle: thin to medium, 0 - 1.8%
culet: none
Excellent Polish & Symmetry
7.46 x 7.40 x 4.57
I am well aware of AGS and AGA standards for ideal. I'm also familiar with HCA score and GIA WLR research.
Solution: I want to ask the jeweler to run a brilliance or some type of industry WLR report on the diamond asap. Given the time involved to potentially "right the ship" (~2 weeks) - what is the quickest, trusted way to check (get a report/measurement) of the WLR or brilliance?
BTW - I've eyeballed this stone it is pretty decent. However, I've seen it multiple times and the more I see it the less i'm impressed. Also, my soon to be fiance has seen it and picked it herself. Unfortunately, I'm getting a little uneasy given the less than ideal pavilion and the dough I'm about to fork over.
I hope for trade folks to respond with a timely, pragmatic recommendation for an actual report/verfication. For other folks, I can punch in the stats myself for the online HCA and get score if you know what I mean...
Any response very much appreciated...
