. You can pick a badly cut (deep) 3 carat which is smaller in diameter than 2.5 carat or even 2 carat stone.
Regarding deeper stones. This is very true - as is the reverse. I was offered a 3 carat stone (8K - on the secondary market) - fairly white stone but the stone was HUGE diameter wise ....way too shallow Huge table w/ absolutely no life. Personally I would rather have a deeper cut stone in the 61-62%. I just must like the look. Experts may cringe - but the customer is always right! I continuously picked stones w/ this depth. Maybe the angles were right on these - who knows. But, I was willing to sacrifice a few nano millimeters. I just don't think my eye could tell the difference between 9.25 & 9.3. It is important though to pay attention to mm size.
