iceman3205 Rough Rock Total Posts: 3 Last Post: 10/17/2006 Member Since: 10/11/2006	Hey all just want to say great site. Was wondering if someone could help me out with a diamond I was interested in. I wanted to compare a Tiffany's diamond to other stores and ones online. I used the HCA for diamonds from Whiteflash and Bluenile and it worked everytime. This is the measurements Tiffany's gave me but, I got a thin girdle message, is this common for a Tiffany cut, is there something else to take into account, or are the numbers incorrect somehow? 0.73 Ctw The ring is clarity graded VS1. Table: 56 percent Crown Angle: 35.3 Pavilion Depth: 43.3 Total Depth: 61.7 percent Thanks

Besides checking the HCA and looking at polish and symmetry is there anything else about how well cut a diamond is that I find online. I'm starting to lean toward the internet buy, whats the average price for an independant appraisal? Thanks
