Hello,
I'm considering a few diamond options for an engagement ring for my gf. I have a GIA report for one that looks great in person. But when running the measurements through the HCA calculator, it got a score of 5.5. Can someone explain how this is possible?
1.36 ct, G VS2
Cut Grade: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Depth: 62.8%
Table: 57%
Crown Angle: 36.0
Pavilion Angle: 41.0
Culet: 0
girdle: medium-slightly thick (faceted) 3.5%
From my research, it looks like the crown angle seems a bit on the higher end, but then why does the stone achieve an Excellent cut grade? Who's in the wrong on this one?
