HCA 4.8
Crown 36
Pavillion 40.8



Thanks!

A couple of concerns...the cut. You would really need an idealscope and/or aset. The crown angle is high so its more than likely going to show
leakage. Do you have any pictures of the stone? Its an SI1 with twinning wisp which may not be bad but it also states additional twinning wisp
not shown so that could be a problem. I would probably just pass on this stone. Let PSers find you a stone.

Absolute hard pass on this one. HCA over 2 = reject. You can find much better!

LOL

Someone has as bad a memory as I do!


Definitely a 'No' with HCA at 4.8

Edited.... not 4.8 HCA.

I actually dont' know what it is. Does this change your recommendation?

Just ran it. It's a 3.8. anything above 2 is a "no", so don't choose this one.

What's your budget and color/clarity preference?

 

[tyer]

What do you guys think about this one? HCA score is 1.1

Carat: 1.2
Colour: G
Clarity: SI1
Cut: GIA xxx
Table: 57%
Depth: 61.1%

Don't know if the clarity characteristic is acceptable

Thoughts?

HCA score is good (Crown and Pavilion angles work together) but it's a low-crown cut, so may have more white light than coloured return. The table is within PS-recommended range, though, so might offset that and create some fire to offset/balance the lower crown.

Colour and clarity are both personal preference and dependent on eyesight and tolerance - SI1 may well need inspection to determine if it's eyeclean from the distance of your preference.

Hey lovedogs, any additional comments on the new diamond?

 

[lovedogs]

I would want someone from BN to inspect it to see if it's really "eye clean" and to confirm the clouds don't negatively impact brilliance/transparancy. But overall I think it looks nice, and the specs are close to our recommended parameters, plus the angles are complimentary.
