Hi! this is the first time I am posting a question. I enjoy reading discussions on price scope and am learning a lot (and also getting confused about things such as HCA below 1 and above 1!)

I am grateful for any comments and suggestions from you all

Recently I saw a diamond at a store that was so beautiful and captured my attraction immediately. Then I searched for similar stones on James Allen to compare with (price, HCA score, etc).

1) 2.07 lab Diamond I saw at a store
Depth % 62.1
Table % 54
Crown Angle 35.0
Pavilion Angle 40.8
HCA 1.5

2) 2.07 lab Diamond online
Depth % 61.1
Table % 56
Crown Angle 33.0
Pavilion Angle 41.0
HCA 0.7

3) 2.08 lab Diamond online
Depth % 60.7
Table % 57
Crown Angle 34.0
Pavilion Angle 40.8
HCA 0.9

They are all triple excellent diamonds and vvs 1.

Based on these information, which one would you recommend? I personally like small tables but then I don’t know much about diamonds and I am not sure whether lower HCA is better (0.7 vs 1.5).…

Thank you so much for sharing any comment with me!

Thank you so much for your kind message! I just created a new post for a lab grown Diamond forum.

Whenever I had questions about HCA (how to understand HCA scores), cut proportion, etc. I ended up finding fascinating discussions in RockyTalky (even when I was just googling my question I ended up this forum so many times!) so if someone in this forum could comment on these three diamonds (just based on their cut proportions and HCA score), that would be great.

I only have two natural diamonds and they happen to be both table size of 55. I seem to prefer small tables so I am inclined towards 1), but regarding the proportions and the HCA scores do you think other two might be possibly better ones? It’s hard to compare online images with 1) I had a chance to see at a store. Thank you again for your messag!
