How's the I color show in your 3 ct..??




Just Wondering and have had many folks on the forum comment that color is more visible as you increase in size...

Hi, Josh!!




Thanks for all your help!




Face up it is very white. From the side if you have another stone with a better color, you might be able to tell a tint... otherwise by itself... can't tell a single thing...




BTW, I think I might want to look for a stone for myself that's 1 carat but with lots of FIRE...


I understand with fire, there will be less brilliance...




What do I have to look for if I want more fire?

Hey Leota,

Well there are many factors that come into play which determine a diamonds performance...

One crucial area is the crown and pavillion angle relationship...Try looking at a stone with a steeper crown angle...35 degress +...Stones with smaller tables also show more fire...There's no magic number but I like stones with tables around 55.

A stone with more fire will have a little less brilliance but imagine the perfect combination of the 3 (Brilliance, Fire, Scintillation) a big balancing act..If you have more of one element you might be trading off a little in the other...

Either way diamonds in these categories present their own unique look...

Do you mean crown angle?? As I was waiting for your reply.. I found a thread saying something like the crown angle has to be 35.5 + and the pavillion has to be lower like close to 40?




Would it be something like this? http://www.goodoldgold.com/3_024ct_h_vs2__h%26a.htm




I notice this one had a higher crown angle of 35.1 and the pav. is close to 40

It is late here Leota...

Yes, I meant crown angle..I edited my previous post for ya...

 

[KittyTiger]

oh no no~~ I didn't mean it as a rush for you to get back to me..

I meant i was doing a little research on my own..

Thanks for helping me out with this tho~~ i'm looking for those angles that you're telling me about..

and maybe i should go into a store and look again at the FIC and TIC's and decide what I like
