Its a large table shallow/deep.
There isnt enough info to run DC on it with any accuracy.

My guess would be that its a bright diamond but not as fiery as one with a smaller table and different angles.
 
well you already know i am not a personal fan of the 60/60s because no matter how well cut they are, they DO sacrifice a bit of fire just because of the larger table and shallower crown, that is just the nature of the cut. they appear whiter and brighter rather than more fiery or a blend of both.

anyhow, this stone does not seem to be as good of an option as the other 60/60 you had posted about, i don''t like the angles on this one at all in relation to table and depth. i''d stick with the other stone personally if you are still looking at 60/60''s. good luck!
 
I wonder if I like the 60/60 so much on the other one because it has the 34 crown and 40.6 pavilion angles - they approximate the more traditional ideal angles and maybe that''s why I don''t see any fire sacrifice... This stone clearly does not perform better by the numbers, BUT, no Spot...it will be a matter of living with visible Spot or going with something cleaner (this is a VS2) that does not perform quite as well...
 
if Spot is still bothering you then keep looking!! i would NOT sacrifice on cut quality, especially if you see a visible difference between this stone and the other one!! that''s a total red flag for me. if you can easily see it now, you will notice it in other lighting conditions just wearing the stone in daily wear and it will bug you long term, probably just as much if not more than Spot would. i know that this is a tough size range, but i would keep looking if you are not 100000% satisfied. personally i''d rather go with an inclusion that is hidden 99% of the time and not sacrifice on the beauty of the diamond, because to me the cut performs more visibly than an inclusion, but if you need both to be ''spot on'' (no pun intended) then keep looking...don''t settle!
 
I haven''t seen it yet - I should get this stone on Wednesday to inspect. Spot is not bothering me now - I am wondering whether he may bother me in the future though (like if someone takes my hand, brings it 5 inches from their face, and says, "What a nice sparkly ring, so many colors...oh wait, what''s that?" Do people do that? Hrm.). Although by the numbers the new stone is not as good as Spot, I will definitely compare them side by side all Wednesday and Thursday. If the new stone is not quite as good but very very comparable, I might get that. Considering that Barry''s SuperbCert was not comparable enough for me, I wonder what chance this one has...
