On a diamond that is under 1ct, how much of a premium would you give to H&A? Would you drop 0.1-0.15ct lower (for the same price) to get H&A, or would you go with the bigger, 'ideal' cut diamond? P.S. Assume all other factors are comparable.

For me, I like the Arrows patterns on the diamond, so if a non-H&A can exhibit that I am fine with it. You might not care for the pattern or a H&A snob...

Really depends on your preferences, personally I would go for the larger non H&A assuming the proportions were good, conoisseurs and enthusiasts of H&A precision cut may prefer the pedigree and patterning of the h&a diamond. It is really best in order to know for sure, to view both types in person then you can see exactly what your preferences are.  Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn |

This may or may not be a decision point for you. For example, in looking for a pair of earrings, should you look for two, non-matched pairs that are similar, and put them together for a savings? Try to find a diamond with ideal symmetry but only excellent polish to get the savings there. Often, the H&A comes along with a diamond with otherwise ideal proportions, and it can be challenging to sometimes find an option w/o H&A that you otherwise does meet your approval. Separately, Al from WF has at least once demonstrated you can calculate a zero $ premium for H&A, but this can always be variable. Ira (Ruffles have Ridges) Z. |

For under a carat, I would not drop to get H&A branded. Size would rule out at that level. |
