Sanity check on my 1 ct. ACA

[VanGo]

Hey All,
I’ve been reading on here for about 2 months. I’ve finally worked up the courage to buy a stone. This is what I bought last weekend. (Oh, and thanks for the tip on the PS/Wire transfer discount!)

Here are the specs:

Report: AGS
. Shape: Whiteflash ACA
. Carat: 1.044
. Depth %: 60.9
. Table %: 57.3
. Crown Angle: 34.9
. Crown %: 14.9
. Star : 52
. Pavilion Angle: 40.7
. Pavilion %: 42.9
. Lower Girdle %: 76
. Girdle: Thin to Medium, Faceted
. Measurements: 6.54-6.57X3.99
. Light Performance: 0
. Polish: Ideal
. Symmetry: Ideal
. Culet: Pointed
. Fluorescence: Negligible


It falls below 2, within AGS and GIA Ideal boxes, and within TIC for any combination of its crown/pavilion angles from the Sarin report.

I’d love to know what you gals and guys think about the stone. Is there anything I’m missing, or should it be a stunner when it gets here?

Oh, and I’m planning on having it mounted in a WF “Rounded Open Cathedral Engagement Ring” which I’ve never seen a photo of on PS despite searching. So, if any PS’ers out there have one they’d like to show off, feel free to post it up here.

Thanks to all,

Swoonable, just swoonable.

And if no one posts a pic of the setting, ask WF if they could send you a couple hand shots. I''m pretty sure they will do that for you.
