"Extremely Thin" Girdles In Princess Cuts: Cause for Concern?
Current conventional wisdom and advice to consumers is to stay away from diamonds that display 'extremely thin' (ET) girdles. The rationale is that such girdles may be more susceptible to chipping or breaking compared to girdles that are classified as 'slightly thin' and greater.
In our opinion, this needs to be placed in proper context. ET girdles need to be seen and evaluated within the total view of the diamond's entire girdle. In many cases an ET still will have enough bandwidth so as to not pose any danger to the diamonds structure or foundation. Furthermore a designation of ET may only refer to one or two spots along the girdle's continuum and such designation applied only in reference to the girdle width of the rest of the diamond.
Attached is an example of a Princess Cut that GIA has evaluated as having an ET girdle. Note that this girdle side still has sufficient "meat" on it so that it poses no danger to the stone; but in relation to the adjacent very thick girdle it can be classified as an ET girdle.
Our advice is to work with vendors that either have the diamond in stock or can call it in for a personal evaluation.

The brand new Zune browser is surpr isingly beneficial, but not as good because the iPod is. It works well, but is notas rapid as Safari, and features a clunkier interface. For those who sometimes strategy on using the internet browser that is not an issue, but when you??? re planning to browse the internet alot out of your PMP then the iPod is much larger display screen and better browser may possibly be crucial.
