Hi Everyone, looking for some more help in my diamond search.
1. I am interested in this diamond from Good Old Gold:
Round brilliant, F, VS21 1.25 carat, GIA cert
HCA of 2.2
Length: 6.93mm
GIA Cut Grade: Excellent
Table: 56.81%
Depth: 61.83%
Crown: 34.77°
Pavilion: 40.98°
Symmetry: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Fluorescence: Negligible
Girdle: 1.74%
Culet: None
Lab Report: GIA
The GemEx Report scores were great - everything very high (this was one of the few diamond to score a very high in the white light return category). However, the HCA score was only 2.2 with everything in the very good range. I would have expcected the HCA scores would have been excellent. Should I give more weight to the GemEx Report versus the HCA score with respect to the appearance of this diamond?
2. I am also considering this diamond from a B&M. Should I expect good light return and brilliance with these numbers or more fire? I prefer brilliance over fire, but am looking for a nice balance. What can I expect with the combination of the larger table (59) and the steeper crown (35)?
Round brilliant, F, VS2, 1.25 carat, GIA cert
HCA of 1.4
6.85 x 6.91 x 4.24
Depth 61.6
Table 59
Crown angle 35.0
Pavilion angle 40.6
Polish very good
Symmetry Very good
No culet

Thanks for your help!
