Newbie - Diamond a Keeper? too deep?

[digdugger]

Hi all,
appreciate some opinions from the experts here.
found myself a rather nice stone. but realised that the spread of it is rather small for its carat weight?
thought diamonds of 0.8 carat should face up 6mm? while mine is 6mm at 0.82
Need advice if this stone is a gd? is 62% depth a concern? i'm asking these questions cause im paying a premium for this h&a...
Thanks all for the help

62% depth is fine. I like the numbers on your diamond very much. Most probably a firey stone.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

No, that is within the good range for depth. I would avoid anything greater than 62.3. The diamond looks great!

 

[Roqsteady]

Definitely a keeper!! The proportions, IS, and ASET look fantastic!

It just doesn't get much better than that!

I love the proportion!.... any pic of the hearts? I'm 99% sure it will have beautiful hearts.

 

[digdugger]

Hi all. Thanks for the responses. No picture of the hearts but ive seen it.. they are pretty perfect.
Symmetry and light return looks pretty good from my lay man observation.
Was just concerned abt the spread. And depth.
Judging from the responses. Its a keeper!

thecat: any reason why u say the stone is firey?

 

[thecat]

Small table and sufficient crown angle makes for a firey stone.

Thanks.

Hi all, what would be a reasonable price for this stone from a bricks and mortar store?
Im quoted about usd 7400. Is that reasonable?

That price seems high, even for B&M. Online it would be a bit under $6k. WF has the same size F VS2 for in the $5's.

I tried looking for similar stones of the same spec. Was unable to find any online.. i.e whiteflash even the pricescope search. Bah.

I couldn't find similar AGS0 stones online using pricescope search in house but there are GIA xxx and its seems 0.82 E VS1 would cost around 6.5k. For 7.4k you could get maybe 0.9 ct

Spoke to the shop owner.. said his profit margins are slim. And i was paying a little premium for the e colour and .8ish rarity. Looks like no wiggle room.

Hi all.. i have another question regarding the aset image. Why is it that the reds at the edge(upper girdle facets) are fainter in colour than those nearer the center of the diamond?

 

[digdugger]

Hi all,
its been some time now.. been enjoying the gem for a while now... got my answer to the previous question... (classic girdle! )

just need a little clarity on the aset map...

Just under the table there is this lighter ring of pink instead of intense red... is this indicative of light leakage and is this caused by the 62% depth of the diamond? would it be darker red if it were say 61%?

and why is this faint pink not as evident in the ideal scope image?

Hoping for some answers.

i know this is an OEC and its an I color but I'd get an ASET of this-
