I''ve read the scoop on the ''ideal'' tables, crown angles, pavillion angles, depth, girdle, etc...
My question is (sorta subjective, I know)....
-Can the average person''s naked eye really pickup much of a difference between two ideal cuts that are maybe .5% or .2-3 degrees off in 1-2 categories? I''m not talking about .5% off in like 5 of the major categories, just 1-2... For example, holding all else equal, crown angles differ by .3 degrees and the table by .5%. Or pavillion depth is .5% deeper on one ideal than another, etc... Does it really sparkle all that much better or look all that different? Or are we talking minutia?
-Can a gemologist''s naked eye tell the difference?
I can understand how the machinery can pickup the light differences, what escapes, etc... but I''m not convinced the naked eye can...but I''m the ''average'' person listed above
Finally:
Do the answers to the above questions change when the two diamonds are placed into identical settings?
Thanks for the input!
