I suggest reading our responses to your questions in these threads. Once you have done so you will understand why without more info no-one is going to bother delving deeper into this question.

1.5, wouldn't even consider the 4.0

1.5, wouldn't even consider the 4.0

Same. There is no way I'd consider a 4. Also, a G color diamond is great...no reason to sacrifice cut to go up a color grade!

oy vey you again.....how many times are we going to give you the same advice. sorry

Do please post additional information as others have said, you would only being making a guess with what you posted as the HCA is only one of many tools needed to make an educated buying decision.

I don't care if a D IF was scored 4.0, I wouldn't want it because it is not a great cut. Great cut is essential for maximum beauty. Color and clarity are personal preference.

Diamonds r the same. Ex ex ex vs1 just when i put the numbers in it comes up as 4 on the hca scale both gia

Maybe you have one of the numbers wrong check and see if you are putting % or angles sometimes that confuses people, if not then the one with the 1.5 score is going to look a hell of a lot better across a wide range of lighting situations.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

A 4 HCA score is going to have some kind of problem, possibly light leakage. Don't you want an ideal cut stone if you are spending thousands of dollars? There are lots of diamonds in the world. If you strongly prefer F VS2, then find an ideal cut one.

 

[ssalerno]

The f is 100 dollars cheaper then the g and the f is medium faceted 3.5 %. Vs med-slightly thick 4%.

I dont have the specs right this second i will post later. Everything is almost identical with minute differences in crown angle depth table and pavilion angle. The depth on the f cut stone is 62.6 vs the g stone ending cert number 5166109311 posted on previous thread is 60.6 or something. Everything else is pretty much identical

Hello, these are tiny little stones, it's those minute differences in angles that change everything.

You chose a poorly cut diamond, despite what you think.
Can't say the more educated and helpful membership here didn't try...and try...and try...


Enjoy that 4.4 HCA!

Holy cow the hca is not a end all scale the diamond is gia ex ex ex vs1. How can you say its a bad cut stone. It is called hca to advise you not to finalize your purchase. If you saw a better looking stone in real life you would just go buy the other diamond that didn't sparkle as much? If you would i would say you are crazy. http://www.clarityofdiamonds.com/diamond-buying-guide/holloway-cut-advisor/

HI:

Please enjoy your diamond--because the journey thus far seems to have been arduous.

Come back and show us hand shots of the ring!

cheers--Sharon

GIA 3EX means it's in the top 40% of diamonds, according to GIA. Therefore, your EX EX EX could be at the 60th percentile.

Since you're in nursing school, you'll understand this means a GIA EX EX EX stone could be a D-, using a standard grading curve. If you use the med school grading curve, it could easily be an F.

GIA is not the 'end all scale' using your terminology.

So now you're here to educate the rest of us?
Really???

Yes, the HCA is a screening tool. Not the end all, be all. Never said it was. But any diamond scoring >4 is questionable and should be eliminated from consideration IF you're trying to make an EDUCATED purchase.

But you've pulled the trigger on your stone, so we're done here.

As I said before, enjoy!

Here is the cert for the f stone 5166101078.

For the record: 56T 35.5CA 41.2PA 50ST 80LH is an AGS 2-5 candidate, depending on actual (non-rounded) data, cut-consistency and optical precision.

Went with the F stone 4.0 on the hca scale vs 2.0 g color diamond the diamond looked amazing in person i saw both diamonds and the f just sparkled the best. Thanks everyone.

This F and the G you were considering earlier are different flavours of diamond - I suspect you were responding favourably to flavour, not an objective observation of "cut quality". Based on your prior threads I'm confident trying to examine the details with you would be a complete waste of time, so I will simply say that I am very glad you at least took our advice and saw the stones in-person, and I hope you enjoy your choice.

 

[arkieb1]

How big was the diamond? The smaller they are to some people you can get a crappier cut and it matters less to untrained eyes.
