Hi!
Congratulations GOG for the new Brilliance Scope page! It does look awesome and quite a treat for analysis addicts such as this one
.
One Q still: you say a few times (and this sounds true by all means) that the different stages of the Brilliance Scope diagnostic could never traced by looking at the stone, but may be identified visually under different light conditions (such as direct versus diffuse light). But this is like choosing a color-change stone according to the color it would have given the light conditions prevailing in your life! (Hm... is this really a bad idea? Never thought of my alex. this way!)
How can the readings of the Brilliance Scope be used to predict the visual appearance of the diamond? Can be symmetry be factored in somehow? In particular I tend to admire cuts with unusual geometry regardless of the light return they deliver... Is there any correspondence at all between the geometrical symmetry of the cut and the three ratings on the Brilliance Scope?
