Greetings PSers
I have previously posted a request for thoughts between 2 stones (that thread is here) and this 3.8 TH stone came out as the better stone. Transaction is part of an exchange/upgrade with JA.
Many on here have cautioned against an H color stone at 3.8 carats unless I am sure my better half will be OK with hints of color. As such, I am looking for well cut G color stones in same general size. Others have recommended I could step down from VVS1 to VS1 as a potential way to step up in color and perhaps stay in the same price range.
In my search, I have come across this G color 3.72 stone here and would like the good folks here at PS to give me their thoughts on this potential replacement stone. This 3.72 stone has a 1.3 HCA score L/W ratio of .997 and proportions are within both AGS Ideal and GIA Excellent. The original 3.8 TH stone is well cut, as PSers have acknowledged that proportions, video, and IS images demonstrate. I requested IS images for the 3.72 stone to no avail. I believe JA can provide IS/ASET images if I move forward with that transaction once the stone arrives in their facility in NYC to be set.
Although the 3.72 I am considering has proportions within my search criteria, I am not sure of the effects of the relationship of those proportions, e.g. I understand that a 35.5 CA is acceptable with a 40.6 PA, which this stone has. However, how these relate to the 55 table, 80% lowers and other proportions I do not know. The 62.7 depth is the one proportion that sets off the alarm for me, but perhaps not as much an issue relative to other specs(?), so appreciate thoughts on the 3.72 stone. I am disinclined to think this is a winner stone, but the education I am receiving here is invaluable, so thanks in advance for your inputs.
