Well, i ran my diamond through both the HCA and David Atlas'' cut grader on his website. Here''s how my diamond scored on the HCA:
Light Return Excellent
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread
or diameter for weight Very Good
Total Visual Performance 1.6 - Excellent - within TIC range
But when i entered my info into David''s cut grader, my diamond was graded a "3B", which makes it a "US domestic average cut" and is considered only a fair to good cut according to the chart. what the heck is up with that? which should i go by?
