Hello,
I’ve been lurking for a while and this is my first post. I’m trying to educate myself on diamonds and I’ve found PS to be so informative and helpful. I hadn’t realised there was so much more involved than the 4 C’s!
I’m looking for an engagement ring and thought my heart was set on a Tiffany solitaire but now I’m tempted by a Soleste. I think I’ve just about got my head around the dimension range for a round brilliant cut diamond although I’ve still got stacks to learn but I have no idea where to start on a cushion cut. I’ve found a Soleste .75 (centre stone) with the following specs:
E/VVS2
No fluorescence
Cut excellent
Polish & symmetry very good
Depth 70.9%
Table 64%
Crown height 48%
Crown angle 39
Pavilion depth 51.2%
Pavilion angle 37.6
Girdle thickness is medium to slightly thick

Would this be a good ring to purchase based on these stats?
Any advice/help very gratefully received, I’m terrified of making an expensive mistake.
Thank you so much x
 
You cannot judge cushions based on the numbers. Do you have a photo or video?

are those photos from the actual ring or are they just stock photos..? :confused:
 
That’s a good question. The more I look at the pics the more I’m not sure myself. My budget constraints mean it’s a pre loved piece of jewelry so I’ve asked for further photos and a video

I now have a close up photo of the Soleste (this one is of the actual ring but no video unfortunately).
Does the photo show enough detail to gauge whether this would be worth pursuing?
Thanks for taking the time to read x
