I wouldn’t buy that diamond. It’s cut too deep. Ideally, the depth should be close to 61% and shouldn’t exceed 62.6% (62.8%). Not only will the diamond be less brilliant, it will look smaller:

What style setting (solitaire, pave/side stones, halo) and metal (yellow gold, white gold, platinum) are you putting it in?

Thanks for your help. I was worried about the depth also. There is also a black spot from a crystal that bothers me at the outer edge. I put my order on hold. The ring is 14K white gold with 3 round diamond setting. I found another 0.8 center stone and will copy the info here and the 2 side stones. Any advice is appreciated!

That’s excellent! All three diamonds are beautiful. The two side stones match perfectly with each other and the center is eye-clean and with much better properties than the previous one. Now I have nothing against you going forward with this ring!

Thanks so much!

My pleasure. You did a great job.
