Is this Tiffany diamond a good one?

[doobaokwei]

Hello everyone First of all, thank you again for helping me pick out my ACA. It's been bringing sparkles to my life everyday this past 4 years.

I recently came across of this pre-loved Tiffany solitaire that I am interested in. Before I see it in person, can you please let me know if the specs look good to you experts? Thank you in advance for all your assistance.

Carat: 4.02
Color: D
Clarity: VS2
Cut: Round brilliant
Measurements: 10.13 x 10.21 x 6.33mm
Cut: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Fluorescence: None
Depth: 62.2%
Table: 55%
Crow: 34.5%
Pavilion: 43.0%
Girdle: Medium to slightly think

The specs are excellent. Are you able to get an Ideal-Scope or ASET image to verify light return?

Hi Kim N. Thank you so much for your input. No, I have not asked for those. What a great idea! I am scheduled to view the ring virtually next week and will ask for the Ideal-Scope or ASET image. Thanks again.

Many jewelers don't have a scope, but you can get your own.

I don't know how to figure the pavilion angle from those numbers, depth, table, and crown angle are good, though. It says Tiffany Heritage Stone, which possibly might mean it was earlier set in another piece of jewelry. The diameter says 10.13-10.21 which is a little more variation that we usually see on ideal cuts. And when I enlarge the picture, it almost appears that the stone may not be perfectly round. That certainly could just be the picture quality, though. I'd ask for a lot more pictures and especially a close up view of the top of the stone to see the facet pattern besides seeing it virtually.

Thank you very much, diamonseeker2006. I learned so much in this post. I will definitely asked for more photos. If it helps, here is one that shows the close up view of the top. Any additional thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Heritage means that they do not have a source for the stone (specific region/country of origin).

This is very helpful. Thank you, headlight!

Then how can anyone know it was sourced under the Kimberly Process?
Could it be a blood diamond?

Per its website, Tiffany claims that, regardless of when they were sourced, all Tiffany diamonds are sourced responsibly. I understand that there is no guarantee but hope it helps.

Hi everyone - Just a quick update that I have pulled the trigger and should receive the ring later this week. It will go straight to Tiffany's to be checked and resized. When everything is completed, I will be sure to come back and share it with you.

Again, big thank you for all of you. This community is always so helpful, and I greatly appreciate all your assistance.

I am so excited and anxious at the same time. It will be an upgrade from my current ACA in terms of color. I will be sure to keep everyone posted with any pictures. Thank you!
