DiaGem: I is a rather well known fact that nature has supplied us with a greater proportion of larger diamonds, over 5.00ct, with D color than smaller diamonds with D color. This is DeBeers data, not mine.
Regular Guy: ''Question: To what extent do proportions tell the whole story, anyway?'' I would respond that the popular images paint of marketable and compelling picture, but do NOT tell the ''whole story''. I have treid to impress in my conversations with RockDiamond that these images do correlate to human perception in many ways, but are not absolute proofs of subjective beauty to all individuals. I have encouraged the use of these images because they are successful in making sales and consumers can understand them. Images are not equivalent to beauty, but they are good indicators of promising stones. When one looks to shop, one must sacreen out and eliminate stones first. Then, one looks more closely at the remainder. Anything which helps consumers to screen with success has a place in the process.
Can you show me some data? It will be super interesting!
Just doesnt make sense (to me).
