Hi Gurus!!
As I'm reading more on diamond cut, more question has come to my mind.
I do possess 2 diamond that in my eyes were:
1. GIA 0,4ct F VS2, HCA score 0,9
This diamond is white all the time, but not as sparkly and sometimes can be flat. When it's dirty the edges loose it's sparkle which I found very weird.
2. GIA 0,6ct F VVS2, HCA score 3,8
This diamond is very lively and the fire oh wow. But somehow can look bit yellowish on some lightning (home/office lightning mostly).
I rarely clean this one as it always sparkles. And I do wonder if the yellowish tint I see is because of the halo (melee was F, but looked very2 white)
Butttt,
3. I also have a heart cut GIA 0,9ct D VS2, set on WG solitaire
that are very very sparkly with crisp facet, but also easily looks yellowish. Which is impossible right? since it's a D!
I also read somewhere that well cut diamond is like a chameleon as they are reflecting colors around. Good cut stone will throw more colors than the bad one.
My question is:
- Is it possible for the second diamond outperforming the first one as it score very bad on HCA tools?
- Is well cut diamond change color more easily than the bad one?
- What is the best cert range if I want diamond that look white most of the time and still sparkles?
Btw I'm in Asia where we has no knowledge on ASET, so I'm relying on HCA tools and my untrained eyes =D
Thank you!!!
