Ration between table and t. depth %

[GiGi]

Hi!

I have been reading a lot of expert opinions on what the best range is for Table% and Total Depth% of an emerald cut stone. Some site says the best range is Table: 61%-65%; Depth: 60%-65%. Some says it should be Table:59% - 69% and Depth:59%-69%. Some then says it really is Table: 65%- 75% and Depth: 60%- 75%.

What is the most accurate range for a ideal cut emerald cut? Also, what is an ideal porportion between the Table and Depth ration?

Thanks to you all! GiGi

Gigi, have you checked out the AGA cut grading charts? You can find them at http://www.gemappraisers.com/chrt3.htm.
