H&A/Signature vs regular Ideal/Excellent cuts (similar HCA)

[aadiamond]

Hello,

I was slightly unclear on the difference here. From what I see on websites there is a decent mark-ups on the signature/H&A cuts so was wondering whether when looking for diamonds is having ideal/excellent cut with a good HCA score enough or are H&A cuts really much superior assuming the HCA numbers are almost the same. What else should I be looking at to compare ?

Thanks.

H&A are the top of the ideal cut heap...the most precisely cut. Ideal cuts and excellent cuts with HCA scores under 3 can be equally as beautiful to the eye. Having H&A is more of a mental thing for wanting "the best". I have both and enjoy both!
