Steve Rough Rock Total Posts: 13 Last Post: 7/1/2002 Member Since: 6/18/2002	Considering 2 diamonds: Shape: Round Brilliant Carat: .74 Clarity: VS2 Depth: 60.9% Table: 55% Symmetry: Excellent Polish: Excellent Flourescence: None Cost: 3,257 Shape: Round Brilliant Carat: .78 Clarity: VS2 Depth: 60.2 % Table: 58 % Symmetry: VG Polish: Excellent Flourescence: Faint Cost: $2,730 So uh, which do you guys prefer and why? I'm a little concerned about the depth on the second one, as well as the faint flourescense. The VG Symmetry shouldn't be noticably different from Excellent, right? (Without magnification I mean). Thanks

Steve Rough Rock Total Posts: 13 Last Post: 7/1/2002 Member Since: 6/18/2002	Note: The above two diamonds are both F in Color! Heres one more I'm considering: Shape: Round Brilliant CERT: AGS Color: F Carat: .75 Clarity: VS2 Depth: 61.6% Table: 56% Symmetry: ID Polish: ID Flourescence: None Cost: 3,006 Looks like a good one, but I'm concerned about the AGS cert. How does this one compare with the above two?

Thanks ---------------- WEll, to be able to help, you need to get Sarin reports for both stones (for crown and pavilion angles.) Plug the numbers in the the Cut Advisor (link at top) and see how they perform. And post the Sarin numbers too, we love that :) I would not be concerned with the depth of either stone, or the slight flourescence. The depths will make these look larger than deeper cut stones of the same weight. The internal symmetry won't be visible without magnification anyway, and the experts say that it takes an expert to tell the difference between good and excellent symmetry, let alone Very good and excellent. I am anxious to see the numbers you get! Oh, the other thing, do a search by cut quality from the front page (pricescope.com) and see what you get as far as prices go. Also, call vendor listed on this page and tell them what you are looking for. From other posts on here, most vendors are really helful. jess JESS

Steve Rough Rock Total Posts: 13 Last Post: 7/1/2002 Member Since: 6/18/2002	I'll try and get those numbers. Also, ID in an AGS cert means Ideal, and is AGS top rating... Right?

Jess Rough Rock Total Posts: 91 Last Post: 9/13/2002 Member Since: 12/20/2001	Again, the experts will tell you that every ideal cut stone doesn't necessarily mean it will perform as well as some "non-ideal" stones. Read the tutorials on this site. It is a wealth of info. I think there is an info page about the cut advisor and it tell you all this stuff. Ideal proportions are based on a set range of proportions. The HCA shows how different proportions will act together, so some non-ideal stones may perform better than ideals. I am not an expert at all, I just hang around here an awful lot!!! JEss JESS
