Did you run this through the Holloway Cut Adviser?

With this diamond, the pavilion angle is steep which the HCA penalizes for, but having said that I would really want an Idealscope image to check this diamond out....Can you ask for one from the vendor? See if you can find a diamond with a similar depth, table, crown angle, but with a pavilion angle of 40.6 or preferably 40.7- 41, then that is the spark plug which could help the diamond fire!

Thanks ladies, now I finally understood what HCA means.... Whew, soo much to learn!

It gave me a rating of GOOD for Light Return, Fire and Scintillation. VERY GOOD on Spread... Total rating of GOOD, 4.6, so should I be looking for more options? HaHa!

This was emailed to me by a a jeweler from the LA Jewelry District so I think an IdealScope report is out of the question.

I''d be looking online and see where my search leads me....

The HCA is used for elimination, so as you can see the diamond in question is not a good proposition. Aim to score 2 or below in most cases, then evaluate from there with idealscope and advice from your trusted vendor.

You can do a lot better in terms of cut. Check out the PS vendors and see what you come up with.
