No... not really. It actually checks for windows in anything (colored stones included). Very shallow diamonds (think rose cuts) get to be see-through like that from top down - but an Ec should not do that at all.Date: 10/28/2004 1:43:28 PM

I thought the window/paper test is only for rounds?
You can probably read through an EC tilted so that you look through the table and a pavilion side (not the culet). If you can do this easily with a larger stone it is not all that appealing (at least to me). A combination of large table and steep pavilion does this. The effect would be hard to spot without loupe on a 70 point piece, and given enough magnification... you can see through anything.
Do you have the specs of those two ?
