My guess is 0.5 - 0.7 ct.

Which hearts and arrows brand did you get?

Not bad dear! actually it's 0.76 carat

My fiance got it from Soo Kee... According to him, they always hv nice GIA diamonds promotion He said initially he wanted to get something ard 0.8 - 0.89 carat (since price will jump a lot more once it hit 0.90carat). But he failed although been waiting for quite some time. Those pro said it's kinda hard to get good proportion, good cutting, high color n good clarity at the size he wants (even yes they will cut it into >0.90carat to maximize their profit).... so at the end I got this

A nice size!

Yes, not easy to find a stone with all the right 4Cs. As you said, when it gets close to a price jump point the cutters want to maximize the yield and that normally means sacrificing the cut.

Did you look at your stone using a scope to see all the pretty hearts and arrows?

I saw the 8 arrows clearly(sometimes without scope oso can c! just need to adjust to the proper distance n angles) but dun hv the chance to c the hearts coz when I got the ring, my fiance oledi set it wif the classic Tiffany casing

Greybear,
noob question - Where's Soo Kee? and how do I know how many hearts + arrows should I get for best sparkle?

I remember seeing a Soo Kee in Pavilion.

As for hearts + arrows the cutting is always 8 + 8. Here's some extra info for you: http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds_info/t/...id=23&zoneid=15
