Okay, I have been harping on this topic on another forum, mainly because there seems to be a great deal of different opinions. I was dumbfounded when I was informed (on this board) that a diamond that I was considering may not be as great as I thought. It was certified by HRD as being cut "very good" (their highest score)
I posted all the information and numerous people told me that it in fact was a very poorly cut stone. It was no where in the Towolsky range, was not "AGS IDEAL" and recommended I don''t buy it. I was shocked, how can HRD grade it in the highest regard, and every other method gave it a poor score?
So I researched and posted and have not come to a straight answer yet. I looked up the HRD website and did some reading there. The website has their specs on cut listed but it is difficult to read, but another site I found had it listed more concisely. Please read and let me get your input:

On the first link please see the chart at the bottom. Are there any experts that can make sense of that?
