HI,
I have been learning about diamonds and have made a couple of purchases in the past - all BN. While surfing on their site for rounds i realized that diamonds within the following ranges are more expensive than others of similar sizes.
Depth - < 60.3
Width - < 58
Pavillion Angle < 40.8
Crown Angle < 34.5
Again there are stones which are outside these ranges for similar sizes and still manage to get excellent on the GIA certificate. I understand GIAs excellent is a range and any stone that falls within that range is excellent.
I also used Garys Cut Advisor and stones with the above numbers seem to be closer to 0 (the sweet spot for brilliance i guess).
My question is - can you make a decision about the cut of a stone just based on the above numbers ?
Thanks,
Preetam.
