Last week I got advice on two diamonds. One was a H&A with a steep crown (35.4/40.7) for more fire. I then also learned that 34.5/40.8 is arguably a perfect combo so I decided to get one with those proportions to compare the two.
The TIC 34.5/40.8 is definitely a well balanced combo that has enough fire and brilliance. I can understand why is a recommended combo. The balance of brilliance and fire looks nice. But it also doesn’t have the most brilliance or most fire. The fire is a bit muted by the extra brilliance.
The other 35.4/40.7 might not be a perfect combo but it still works. It does look a little darker with less brilliance but I think that makes the colors stand out more. It has more fire than it has less brilliance. They both look arguably the same under sunlight, but the 35.4/40.7 definitely has a bit more fire
I just wanted to make this post and share my unexperienced opinion to help any guys like me that are diamond shopping and new to this and wanted a visual of a TIC vs more fire. But I think most diamonds with ideal proportions will look gorgeous and have enough fire and brilliance.
But for the experts in here which do you like more and can you tell which is the TIC and the more fire diamond?
