Which one is better?

[fakemyphone]

Hi,

Can someone help me understand the cut of the following two round diamonds?

0.73 carat, E, VVS, 3EX, (Total depth 62.2%, Table 56%, crown angle 36.0, pavilion angle 40.
0.83 carat, D, VS1, 3EX, (Total depth 62.2%, Table 57%, crown angle 35.0, pavilion angle 41.4)
0.91 carat, E, VS2, 3EX, (Total depth 62.2%, Table 59%, crown angle 35.0, pavilion angle 41.4)

Thanks!

What are the spread in mm of each? What are their dimensions: l x w x d?

0.83 carat, 6.02mm x 6.05mm x3.75mm D, VS1, 3EX, (Total depth 62.2%, Table 57%, crown angle 35.0, pavilion angle 41.4)
0.91 carat, 6.18mm x 6.21mm x3.85mm E, VS2, 3EX, (Total depth 62.2%, Table 59%, crown angle 35.0, pavilion angle 41.4)

0.73EVVS:


0.83DVS1:

I’d eliminate 0.83.

0.91EVS2:

I’d also eliminate 0.91.

0.73EVVS is the only one that is well cut. I like the high crown.

If you share your budget, we can post a few options for you.

Looks all the diamonds are not promising.. So I say "None of the above".

The charts below give you a rough idea where cut quality could come in at utilizing the table size, CA & PA. Keep in mind, these are GIA certified stones and GIA rounds up and can be more subjective in their grading. Depending on their subjectivity and exact rounding, the situation could get slightly better or worse for each stone. I tried to depict by drawing a box around the cuts the stone could exhibit.

When buying a stone, the cut is the hardest thing to get right in many of our opinions, the trait you need to be the most worried about.

If you share your budget, and criteria range then we can probably help you find a better performing stone. One thing that immediately jumped out to me is you were targeting VS+ clarity stones. While I would definitely agree you need a good "eye clean" stone, you might be able to drop down to some clean SI1 or SI2 stones and maximize your budget a little.



0.73 carat, E, VVS, 3EX, (Total depth 62.2%, Table 56%, crown angle 36.0, pavilion angle 40.


0.83 carat, D, VS1, 3EX, (Total depth 62.2%, Table 57%, crown angle 35.0, pavilion angle 41.4)


0.91 carat, E, VS2, 3EX, (Total depth 62.2%, Table 59%, crown angle 35.0, pavilion angle 41.4)

As the others have commented...the first one is the only one worth taking a look at. Ask for an ASET image.
The pavilion angle on the last two is too high.
Pavilion angles should be in the range 40.6-41.
Crown angles 34-35 some 36 degrees work with 40.6 pavilions (Get an aset image to be sure)
table 54- 58 percent
depth 60 - 62.3 percent

IMO, All cut too deep! I draw the line at 62% depth...that just me.

This is an informative approach. I would even mention the charts Sledge links to are stricter than GIA’s proportions charts. So when you see VG on these charts that could very well translate to GIA Excellent, although not all GIA Excellents are so excellent in my opinion.
