I am in the market for a 1ct round brilliant stone. Although I prefer the ‘look’ of the OECs and cushions – for their high crowns and fiery nature, I also love the unbelievable light return and precision that you get from a mathematically cut RB.
I want best of both worlds. sigh.

My question. If I were to look for a H&A stone and err on the side of a smaller table 53% - 54% in order to get more ‘fire’ out of the stone, and a slightly higher crown angle and height to ‘mimic’ the older cuts, will I achieve this older ‘look’? Is there any other number I should be looking at?
I know Cehra had mentioned keeping the LGF short. How would I know what the LGF is just by looking at the stone’s numbers? Does the LGF correspond to the pavilion depth %?
