Hi I'm new to all of this and was wondering what you guys think of these measurements? Are these good? I'm assuming that they are since thats what they told me but I wanted to get others opinions..

Its a Princess Cut.. Square Modified Brilliant.. What does that mean? Square Modified?

How are these proportions? for a 1.01C

Proportions:

Depth: 76.2%
Table: 67%
Culet: None
Girdle: Thin to Very Thick
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Good
F, SI1

Fluorescence: None

Looks a little deep to me which will result in a smaller look for the weight.

Oh really? Interesting.. Is it a significant difference or no?

A well cut 1.00 ct. princess cut is generally around 5.5 mm square. What is the measurements of that stone?

[yumyums]

Hi..

The measurements are:

5.48x5.20x3.96

Yumyums,

'Princess' cut is a trademarked term and the responsible labs won't use it to describe similar products from other suppliers. 'Square modified brilliant' is the generally accepted generic term. It's kind of like the use of the term 'kleenex' to describe facial tissues, even when they are manufactured by a different company. It's nothing to worry about.

Oh Ok.. thanks!! I guess that makes sense.. What do you think about the specs? What are your feelings towards that?

Yumyums,

There isn't enough information here go give an informed opinion on the merits or demerits of the particular stone. Each stone has it's own beauty and I don't recommend trying to compare them without actually seeing the stone. If you need assistance in making a selection, seek out an independent appraiser who has seen similar stones before and who is neither affiliated with, or a competitor of, the selling dealer. Practice at seeing these helps a lot. A lot of practice is even better. Most good dealers are happy to cooperate with this process. Free advice based on partial information isn't going to get you to your objective and may actually add a considerable distraction.

Buy the diamond, not the paper.

Looks like the cutter was able to save a little weight on the stone by making it more rectangular thus 5.48 x 5.20. If it were cut square it would be easier to set as well.

is that a good thing of a bad thing?

[jan]

Not really good.
