Crown/Pav and HCA

[Sbay14]

quick question.

Diamond scored a 2.3 on the HCA. I love the way the dark arrows look in the image from the website. But am concerned about a 2.3 rating.

Does a 35 crown work with a 41 pav?

Thanks!

It is on the edge. If the symmetry is optically aligned then you shouldnt have a problem. But you need images like H&As or Ideal-scope / ASET to assess that. GIA Exceelent sym is rather meaningless.

35 crown on GIA could be anywhere from 34.76 to 35.24 degrees. If its towards 34.76-34.8 end of that range, I’d be more comfortable. But that would require a scan of the diamond for its measurements.

IS and ASET reveals more than just the numbers on paper.
