Ive been using HCA to sift through stones in my budget. I have kinda stuck to one company (danforth), mainly because of their settings are affordable, and they seem to have good ratings. I have a 1/2 ct stone that has a HCA rating of 0.6. The only knock I can find with this stone is that the polish and symm are VG instead of EX. But the cut is Ideal . Here are the specs.
5.17mm x 5.20mm x 3.11mm, .50 ct. D VS2 ( I didnt look for this color or clarity, just best HCA)
33 deg crown angle
40.8 degree pav angle
60% depth
56% table
Im not sure if this company gives Idealscope or AESET images. But what are the opinions on just blindly buying this stone based on paper stats ?? Thanks.
