Hello all!
I am new here and thought I could use some help ! I just bought a loose diamond for a great price.
IT SCORED A TERRIBLE 6.7 FAIR on the holloway cut advisor !
It was a .69 round brilliant
5.74x5.61x3.47
Total depth of 61.1
Table of 63
Crown height of 11.8%
Pavilion depth of 45.8%
Clarity is GIA and EGL USA grade VS2 no visible inclusions what so ever!
GIA graded as H color
Polish and symmetry good
My jeweler says it's a nice diamond and she is a GIA appraiser . She also said the fire and scintillation is good and not to pay attention to HCA at all.
When I plug in the measurements on GIA facetware , it comes out as GOOD cut but when I change the pavilion angle down .2 points it comes up as very good on GIA.
HCA just says 6.7 and fair!
Problem is I didn'T know a thing about HCA prior to purchasing this diamond and in some lighting my diamond looks too grey and doesn't sparkle as much in certain lights. In most lighting though, it is very sparkly and I see some rainbow fire.
I don't mind my stone being a GIA GOOD but I would like some opinions about my proportions from a jeweler or a diamond expert on here.
Is it really that bad?! Is HCA right about my diamond ONLY Being fair, or should I trust GIA?
I just never read anything online of a person with a score lower than 5.5!
Any advice would be much help!
Thanks!!!
