It will be a useful tool for a LONG time. Wink Wink Jones GG Winfield's/High Performance Diamonds

I have a feeling its more likely they will produce a set of table size charts with pavilion angles on the base leg and crown angles represented as a minimum and maximum. The questions is will these charts make the HCA obsolete, I doubt it, Johan Diamond Exchange Ltd. (Australia)

I could actually see a performance/"sparkle" difference with my eyes in stones with low HCA scores vs stones with scores of 2 and above. It's awesome. Now, we just need one for the fancies. _____________________________________________ Don't breed or buy when homeless pets continue to die.

Now, maybe version 2.0 could be about princess cut diamonds. What do you think ? Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]
