ideal-scope vs. depth/table, etc parameters

[mrmarius]

I ordered an ideal-scope and am going to go out and look once I receive it. My question is this: If I look through the scope and I see very little white/pale pink, and lots of red/black, do I even need to concern myself with the numbers from the AGA cut charts? Or are both pieces part of the equation?

Trying to avoid memorizing all the numbers,
Marius

No, they are not one and the same. A traditional ideal cut will most likely give you a very fine Ideal-Scope image. However, there are non-traditional and yet unrecognized cuts that, while very brilliant, are not considered to be ideal cut diamonds. You won't pay a premium for them, not yet, at least, but they show themselves as very brilliant in the Ideal-Scope. The jewelers who see you using the Ideal-Scope will probably have no idea of what you are doing... If you buy a diamond, they really won't care.

Have a great adventure.

Yes! That is what I was hoping. Hopefully I will find something like that out there.

Got my scope today in the mail. Thanks Dave for the super fast shipping!

Anyone who reads this and is thinking about buying a scope, Dave is your man!
