Holloway scores of 2.0 versus 0.3 - how different?

rextrailer Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 11/22/2003 Member Since: 11/9/2003	I'm wondering if I could get some guidance on a purchase. I have two diamonds to choose from (see below). As you can see, the one with the better HCA score (0.3) is smaller (1.07)and more expensive. Is the smaller stone still a better value because of its great HCA score, or am I just paying for a level of clarty (vs1) that I may not really need? Also, How much difference is there visually between a diamond with an HCA score of 2 vs. one w/ an HCA score of 0.3? Thanks for any advice! Diamond #1: 1.16 carat E SI1 depth%=62.1 table%=56 excellent polish; excellent symmetry 34.7 crown angle 41 pavilion angle HCA score=2 price is $7000 Diamond #2: 1.07 carat E VS1 depth%=60.2 table%=56.2 excellent polish; excellent symmetry 34.0 crown angle 40.5 pavilion angle HCA score is 0.3 price is $8000

OR If they are from the same vendor ask that both be shipped to an appraiser and let the expert eyes decide?

rextrailer Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 11/22/2003 Member Since: 11/9/2003	Thanks for your reply. I guess I am not as much interested in its "value" as I am about how the diamond looks- how it sparkles, its brilliance and fire. Is the difference between a 0.2 HCA score and a 2.0 HCA score significant to the eye? Or do I need more info, like an idel scope picture, of them? Thanks again.
