Hi,
I just purchased this diamond for an engagement ring, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on it.
GIA - https://drive.google.com/open?id=11dRsm1Vs88kBEfKLFP9A4Kp9RmswOQ6y
HCA Score - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OeJT8JihGHb9VrEUNvlt3wG6mrP3vtYC
One thing that's a little odd with the HCA report is that when you look at the possible GIA & AGS grades, it's predicting this stone would classify as very good for GIA however it's tipple excellent on the GIA report.
My idea was not to go in for the super ideal specs but get a hearts and arrows diamond that was very close. I found that I was able to maximize value by doing that and while I may not get the absolute best stone, I would still have something very good. With this diamond, the crown angle is about a degree higher that the recommended specs, although the pavilion angle is at the lowest within the recommended range (hopefully that compensates somewhat for the high crown angle).
Any thoughts? Thanks!
