The third stone is stone is a dud, HCA above 5. The first stone has An HCA of 1.3 which is within TIC range, although not everyone likes a 60/60 diamond you often get the benefit of a larger spread. The third stone scored best with a .4 and would be my choice based on numbers alone. Have you seen any of these stones? Your eyes are the best judge!!

I should add that I'm not familiar with HRD grading and am much more comfortable with GIA or AGS as they have the most accurate grading system and are respected worldwide. Having said that if you choose either of the first stones I would be sure to have them independently appraised by a reputable appraiser to ensure they you have gotten what you paid for.

HRD is very reputable and is primarily seen in Europe. No worries with HRD.

Thank you so much ,Christina and Gypsy.

I just seen only first stone.I like it but I am rookie.


The third stone is stone is a dud, HCA above 5 : is it brilliant?

 

[Christina...]

Typically an HCA score below a 2 represents an ideal cut diamond with ideal light performance. The fact that the third stone scored a 5.4 means that it will have more leakage and not be as brilliant as the first two stones which fall within TIC range. I think your next step should be to request an aset or idealscope image of the first two stones, this will help determine if there is leakage and where its located. In the end though only you can decide the beauty of the stone, having seen the first stone, do you love it? According to the HCA thesecond stone has better light performance, but some people prefer the appearance of a lower scoring stone, a 1.8 or 2.0 for example.

Thanks gypsy I wasn't sure.

 

[Gypsy]

You are welcome Christina.

Just as a side note:

The HCA is pass or fail. Any score under 2 is as good as another.
