Help!!!!!!!!!!!!
I''m struggling with London based gem providers who don''t seem to share this group''s view that cut is important at all (!?!?)
The guy I was speaking to last night was telling me that colour is by far the most important C, and that anything with a certified symettery of better than good is fine. After reading this site I''m certainly not convinced I agree with him!
(he also couldn''t explain to me why to D, VS1s appeared so different...)
I''m looking for a round brilliant which has to be relatively small (0.7-0.9ct) to fit into a very modern design of ring I''ve got in mind.
I''ve viewed a few diamonds now but as none of the jewellers seem willing to offer me detailed information on the proportions of the diamonds its becoming very hit and miss.
The best diamond I''ve seen so far is:
Shape: Brilliant
Weight: 0.81ct
Clarity: VS1
Fluorescemce: nil
Colour: D
Measurements: 5.97 - 6.04 x 3.71 mm
Proportions: "Very good"
Girdle: Medium 3% faceted
Culet: Pointed
Table Width: 57%
CR Height: 15.0%
Pav. Height: 44%
Finish: Very good
Which compared to the others I''ve seen is much more lively / firey. However, I''ve put the details into the Holloway Cut Adviser which states it''s:
Light Return: Good
Fire: Fair
Scintillation: Fair
Spread or diameter for weight: Very Good
Could somebody on here give me an opinion of the diamond? A .gem file I could load into Gem Advisor would be great!!
Thanks in advance,
John
