It is a modified princess cut. That is a princess diamond with the corners cut off....basically a cross between a princess and a radiant cut. The asking price is $11,089. It is GIA

6.98x6.51x4.59
E
VS1
symmetry=G
polish=VG
depth=70.5
table=74
girdle=med

Is there any other info you need to judge quality and cost? Again thank you.

All you need is crown height and pavilion depth to round out the description.

If they check out okay, the price is very fair. Have you seen the stone personally? How's it look?

Where do I find the crown height and pavilion depth? I didn't see it on the GIA report. What would be considered ex/vg/g?

I have seen the diamond and I think it looks very nice, but I really don't have much to compare it to. Thank you.

You can ask your vendor to provide you with
a sarin report which details those measurements.

GIA does not list crown heights and pavilion depths
on their reports.

If you check the standard for a princess cut, the ideal table% is 66-70% and depth% is 64-68%. Hope this help.

You might want to check out the AGA Cut Class Charts to get a feel for what the traditionally preferred parameters are for princess cuts.

Thank you. I will have more info on Monday. Since this is a princess cut with the corners cut off, should I also look at the Flanders cut diamonds. They seem to be similar in shape. Would a flanders cut be more brilliant?

Actually Flanders' Brilliants are quite different... They have a pretty deep cut and a higher crown. Be advised that Flanders' is a patented cut and it's more expensive than a cut corner princess cut. Definitely ask for a Sarin-OGI report to find out all angles and percentage... I just noticed that this diamond isn't neither square nor rectangular... Do you like that shape? Also, find out if you like the med blue fluorescence in an E color...

Hope that helps
