Wow, I cant believe how one number makes such a difference. My stone rates a 2.3

The table is 58, if I put in 57 it would be a 1.4 . Wow Makes you wonder why when they cut it they didnt cut it for a 57 table.
I put in 56, and its a 1.1 What a difference for 1 or 2 percent.

You can even see some difference when you use the rounded numbers as taken from the grading report or the more precise numbers from something like a Sarin report.

Yet, it still demonstrates why it''s important to see a stone in person, or have someone one trusts see a stone to determine if the stone has excellent fire and scintillation. Numbers are good, but will that 1% difference doom a stone that could be stunning in person??

Very good point My stone looks top line. The fire is realy on fire. My husband who has never been impressed with diamonds changed his mind when he saw this one. I think it would visually compare well with a good ideal, yet I didnt have to pay the ideal price. The precsion cutting they did on it really does make a difference Im so glad I found this place. I never knew about cut , before price scope, just clarity and color. Such a difference compared to my last two

Exactly. My stone is not ideal by the numbers. Many would call it premium, with a 59.8% depth and a 59% table (it''s GIA graded, so I don''t know the crown, pavillion angles), but.......to me and many other''s who have seen my stone, it''s fantastic. It compares with most any diamond I''ve put it up against in Tiffany.
