Thank you

I wouldn't recommend this stone. It has blue nuance and an uneven pavilion.

I'd keep looking. THat isn't very well cut

Thank you. Explains the low price

Agree with the others. That, and the report is five and a half years old!

In general terms, remember that the majority of round diamonds receive an "Excellent Cut" grade from GIA (and other labs) - I expect this percentage to continue to increase as LGDs become more popular. Any time you are looking at a "Very Good" cut in a round diamond, that means it is not even in the top 1/2 of graded diamonds produced.

Now - that does not mean you can't find a very appealing diamond in other cut grades, but knowing what your priority is: Size vs Carat (not always the same thing) vs. Cut vs. Color, etc. can really help you narrow your search as you seek the most appealing diamond for yourself.

I understand. In the past I have had a mined L color. It was a Triple excellent cut but the warmth got to me over time. I switched to a G LGD and am happier. Hence why I want a closer to colorless stone.
