what do you guys think is it a good diamond

Pavilion 41

HCA score 0.9

The stone you selected is closer to what we could call a 60/60 style stone, which simply means that both the table and depth is equal to 60 (or near 60). Many 60/60 stone stones have shallow crowns and can be a bit lifeless, yet provide generous spreads (diameter size) and more bright white light return.

However, the 33/41 combo is one of those exceptions where it has a shot of being a fantastic performer. The window of great 60/60 performers is pretty limited.

Just curious, is this GIA 3X (excellent cut, excellent polish & excellent symmetry)?

Assuming so, where GIA gets a bit tricky is they average all 8 crown & pavilion angles together and then round crown value to the nearest 0.5 degree and the pavilion to the nearest 0.2 degree. This gross rounding can make or break a stone many times so it's always encouraged you check the light performance with either an idealscope or ASET scope that you can purchase independently for about $50 or less.

Depending on the vendor you purchased from, they may even provide you an IS or ASET image. But based on what we know right now, it sounds like you may have picked a nice performing stone that will enjoy a larger spread. Assuming the cut is tight, that 33/41 has the potential to rock hard.

Hi Sledge,

Thank you so much for being so informative and take time to teach me and reassuring me about the rock. I’ve purchased it already before asking about the ASET images but I do have the images ( sorry I wanted to show you a video for it the ring but I’m unable to attach it ) and the arrow images I forgot to take the heart side.
Let me know what you think of the rock.

Many thanks in advice
