Im looking at a diamond with the following specs:
Carat Weight: 2.01 carat
Color Grade: J
Clarity Grade: SI2
Cut/Polish/Symm Grade: Ex/Ex/Ex
Measurements: 8.26 - 8.28 x 4.86 mm
Depth: 58.8%
Table: 61%
Crown Angle: 32.5°
Pavilion Angle: 41°
Girdle: Medium, Faceted (3.0%)
Is there a durability issue i should be concerned about? Is there a high chipping risk?
i did a little research and i read that GIA generally looks at crowns being shallow when they are 30 or below, and especially high risk when paired with a thin girdle. Since the angle is 32.5 and a medium girdle, is there still a significant chipping risk? I came across some other info in gia.edu about the different quality of cuts, and it seemed to imply that with a diamond that is 59% depth, the crown angle should be around 33 to be considered an excellent cut...
Is there anything i can do to find out the durability and possible chip risk with these angles?
