The Thick in the girdle variation cause it to get the VG cut grade. A thicker girdle will result in a smaller diameter for the stone.

The numbers are ok, could be a good performing diamond depending on the rounding of numbers by GIA. Best to get an idealscope image of the stone. Price is a little on the high side for online vendor but should be ok for brick store.

As a comparison, for example this.

Thanks for providing the comp and thoughts on the price.

I thought it was the girdle that had knocked it out of Excellent.

Any other opinions/thoughts??

Thanks all!

I don't know the exact difference between "clouds not shown" and "additional clouds not shown" - or even if there is a difference, but the PS recommends you beware of this statement.
