Future of the Holloway Cut Advisor

[Superidealist]

I''ve always seen the Holloway Cut Advisor as a patch until the rather conservative major labs finish their research. When this has come to pass, will there be a need for the Holloway Cut Advisor?

My guess is yes, as there are Millions of old certs out there without the perfomance information that will someday be standard. It will be a useful tool for a LONG time.

I think it is highly unlikely that GIA cut grading will feature an interactive model like the HCA.

I have a feeling its more likely they will produce a set of table size charts with pavilion angles on the base leg and crown angles represented as a minimum and maximum.

The questions is will these charts make the HCA obsolete, I doubt it,

I hope it stays. It is a big part of the *fun*

.

I could actually see a performance/"sparkle" difference with my eyes in stones with low HCA scores vs stones with scores of 2 and above.

It's awesome.

Now, we just need one for the fancies.

Can't wait for HCA 2.0

Surely the HCA will remian the ine tool to compare info on various certs based on sarin data - the more labs put numbers on certs, the more useful the HCA.

Now, maybe version 2.0 could be about princess cut diamonds. What do you think ?
