Lets pretend for a bit that the funds were raised for an independent observation study of diamond cut.
The study is to be conducted by an independent testing lab.
What would be the protocol that should be used.
including but not limited to:
observer selection - age, eyesight, trade allowed?
lighting and viewing environment? - remember it has to be repeatable and consistent.
number and types/specs of diamonds?
What information would be gathered and what questions would they be asked?
How many viewings would be required to get usable results?
Anything else you can think of.
edit: The diamonds would be various makes of RB's for the study.
Thank you f0rbidden for bringing the need to clarify that to my attention :}
