Garry and other experts here, is this the one?

[HappyFish]

1.36 ct, F, VS2
Table 57%
Depth 61.3%
Crown Angle 35.2
Paviliion Angle 40.8
Fluorescence None
Precision of Cut Excellent
Polish Excellent
Symmetry Very Good

I don''t have the girdle info yet.

HCA is 2.0, a little lower than I would prefer.

 

[HappyFish]

Got the girdle info:

thin to medium (faceted).

I am so excited.

Guys and girls, please let me know what you think of this diamond.

I think its all in your own opinion. From my experience on here, I had some people say my diamond sounded good but I should see how it performs in person because the HCA is based off of estimated numbers. I had other people who claimed the angles were red flags... I chose a diamond that was a GIA VG cut because the angles were just outside of the EX rating requirements. When I compared it to an AGS Ideal, I unknowingly chose my GIA VG over the AGS triple 0. My diamond had a HCA of 0.6. I think the best advice I got after giving this info was to see it in person and under and IS.

Are you getting it for a good deal? That always helps to solidify if its "the one" or not.

Can you get any ideal-scope or even ordinary images?

Who graded it? The terms look odd

Thanks for sharing your experience. I will be able to see the diamond in person in a few days.

No, it is not a good deal. It is a Tiffany diamond.

I am waiting anxiously to see it in person. It is being called in for me. Maybe next week.

Tiffany stones dont usually get very high scores on the Ctu Adviser, but they are very nice when you see them. Enjoy!

Thanks Kissmark. Tiffany has very limited selection for diamonds in certain 4C range. This is the second diamond within my prefered 4C range in two months. My sales lady requested it in as soon as she saw it in their system. The first one was sold before I even had a chance to look at it in person.

You can find other shoppers experiances if you search some quite recent tiffany shopping threads.

I strongly urge you to buy an ideal-scope. We ship them quite quickly from Philly.

Anyone have time to find the relevant threads please?

Tiffany has some very nice diamonds and others that are not particularly excellent. Ideal scope will help find the best of Tiffany in terms of light leakage, and optical symmetry to some extent. ASET can be additional help. Diamonds that look excellent under IS/ASET do not need HCA for further evaluation/estimation. (But does not hurt to apply, when numbers are provided.) It is a must tool for those shopping around established brands. Thanks to Garry for developing such a wonderful easy-to-use tool for consumers, though I did not have to use one because the vendor had all.

Happy Shopping.

Thanks Garry and Gontama. I was about to order the ideal-scope when my husband offered to make me one.

He put some hot pink paper inside his 8X AGFA lupe, and there we have an ideal scope!

I have been practicing using it. The diamonds I have look worlds apart under it. I am happy to find out that my current ering diamond is a HA stone.

But the diamond studs I bought from blue nile a few years ago looked horrifying under the lupe.

The melee on my Tiffany bead set eternity band looked really bad too.

Anyway, now I feel much more confident going shopping for a diamond. Thank you again Garry for developing such a handy tool.
