Hello folks,
I''m a first time buyer trying to understand as much as I can before I take the plunge. I''ve been searching the internet far and wide for the perfect diamond and running many through the Holloway Cut Advisor. I was wondering if its creator or someone else familiar with the math involved could comment on how the final number is developed. In particular, I''m curious how heavily spread is weighted into the overall grade. I''ve run a couple diamonds that came up excellent in all other factors but had "very good" spread. Since I can compare diameters easily on my own, I''m mostly interested in the light performance. Does anyone know how much the score of an otherwise excellent diamond is bumped up by a less than ideal spread? I''m guessing there''s no easy answer given the vagueness of a term like "very good," but still curious if anyone can shed a little light on the subject.
