Shopping for an ering and found a couple of diamonds in the LA diamond district that I was wondering if people here in the forum could give me their opinion on:
1)
1.85 G SI1 Ex Ex Ex
depth 62.3%
table 55%
Crown 35.5 deg
Pav 40.6 deg
thin to med girdle
no culet
$17500
2)
2.03 H SI1 Ex cut, VG sym & polish
Depth 61.9%
Table 58%
Crown 33.5
Pav 41.4
girdle thin to sl thick
no culet
$19500
I ran both through the HCA and the second one came out with lousy numbers (HCA 4)... How is that possible with a GIA cut grading of excellent???
I''m also looking at another diamond from a friend''s friend''s friend who is in the diamond business:
1.90 H VS2 Cut VG, Pol VG, Sym VG
Depth 61.2%
Table 59%
crown 34
Pav 41
girdle - verty thin, to sl thick
no culet
$15400 (he''s offering it to me basically at cost)
This last one has a GIA cut grade of very good but has a HCA that is lower than that of a GIA excellent cut.... I''m confused as to what is a more accurate determination of cut?
Thanks for all your help, this forum is an absolutely great resource!
