Question about Radiant stone

[jbra]

I have been looking heavily at this stone and wanted some feedback. I like the look of it but want to see opinions if it is a good buy or not:

Shape: Radiant
Carat weight: 0.77
Cut: Premium
Color: F
Clarity: VVS1
Depth: 70.4%
Table: 65.0%
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Very Good
Girdle: Medium to slightly thick
Culet: None
Fluorescence: None
Measurements: 5.71*4.80*3.38
Ratio: 1.19

My other question is about florescence in Radiant diamonds... is it bad to have any florescence in that type of cut? Thanks for the help

can you get some pictures?

fluorescence is very rarely bad. there are some rare instances that very strongly fluorescent stones will look hazy.

The second seems overly dark under the table. First one looks ok.

This one looks as if it could be worth getting an ASET image for, can you get the crown height too please? Fluorescence is rarely an issue, only occasionally with some strong blues as Julie mentions but the vendor can advise providing they have access to the diamond. Read more on fluorescence from the Pricescope tutorial.

Sorry, can''t give you any educated information on the stones. However, I just wanted to say I love radiants, and there are not a whole lot of them posted lately. Congratulatons on choosing such a lovely cut. I hope to have one of my own someday.

on a personal note, i like the 2nd one a lot more simply due to the almost perfectly square shape. but then again, i''m a princess owner so that''s my bias.

the 2nd one looks sorta like an asscher with its clipped corners minus the steps. it''s visually beautiful.
