How do I pick the best ideal cut?

[Ssalbritton]

What is your process for picking the absolute best ideal cut from James Allen?

A little background, I want hearts and arrows for the peace of mind but I can't find one in my price range and color.

So I'm turning to the ideal cut. I understand the ideal cut can include many diamonds that I would not want to purchase. How do you weed out the ones that suck or how do you pick out the best cuts of the ideal section. Right now I'm narrowing them down on proportions. Then I do a hca score. I also look for arrows or contrast in the spinning diamond video.

What would be the proportions you look for? What would be your procedure?

Also how do I determine the lower faucet girdle length. I understand that I want it t be between 75 and 78 percent. Thanks so much. I'm trying to purchase tonight before the sale goes out at James Allen

You know that the sale is only on settings, right?

What is your budget? What setting style do you want? I wouldn't rush your diamond decision because of a setting discount.

Also how do I determine the lower faucet girdle length.

The GIA report has a schematic of a diamond in side view, labeled with a bunch of numbers (percentages and angles). The lower girdle facet length (LGL) is the number shown in the lower left corner of the schematic.

They are Ideal. There is no better.
