Hi, long time lurker, first time poster here.
I have a diamond that scores 0.5 on the HCA. It was appraised by GIA before the GIA came out with their cut evaluation. I''m confused though, because on the HCA chart it actually is UNDER the ''AGS ideal candidate'' *and* the "GIA excellent candidate.''
It seems like most people have diamonds that are rated GIA excellent or AGS ideal but have high HCA, and their placement on the HCA chart is ABOVE the ideal/excellent candidates. What is going on???
1.39 carats
dimensions 7.24 x 7.28 x 4.36
depth % = 60.1%
table diameter 56%
crown angle 34.6 deg
pavilion depth 42.5% (no pavilion angle!)
culet = none
girdle medium, faceted
polish excellent
symmetry excellent
