Hi there! I recently made an upgrade (it's my second upgrade in a month - long story) - to a 0.92 ct RB. It's a GIA triple ex, SI1. However, I just got back from the jeweler and plugged in the specs to the HCA tool (which I just found out about) - and the diamond scored a 3.6 ("Very Good - Worth buying if the price is right").
I felt like I scored the diamond for a steal since it faces up large for its carat (6.36x6.38 and HCA gave the spread an "Excellent" rating) and for our budget ($3k). It looked very beautiful in the store, and I'm now wondering if I should go back to the jeweler and pick a different stone. Has anyone ever found a diamond with an HCA > 3 that was acceptable? I loved it in the store, and now I'm unsure what to do!
Here are the other stats:
Depth: 59.9%
Table: 59%
Crown: 32%
Pavillion: 41.6%
Symmetry: Excellent
GIA cut: Excellent
Measurements: 6.36 x 6.38 x 3.82
