Hello, I am a long long long time lurker that decided to join cause I spend so much time soaking up all the diamond knowledge.
I love looking at the show me the bling forum and RT. Diamond Hangout is fun to lurk in as well.
I do have a question about diamond spread. Threads that discuss diamond spread of the various shapes often go over my head in regards to how some posters can advise that diamond A has better spread than diamond B for its size.
For example...my e-ring stone...which was purchased before PS is a .70ct oval G color SI2 clarity with dimensions of 7.23x4.77x2.99mm
table is 60%, depth of 62.7% slightly thick to very thick girdle.
1. What is the criteria I should use as a comparison to my stone to determine if my stone has good, average, poor, or great spread?
Should I compare it to other ovals of similar stats or to a round stone of similar stats?
I was looking at a chart displaying different dimensions for round stones....A .75ct has the typical mm of 6.0mm and a 1.00 has 6.5mm. Do I interpret that my stone face up is perceived as a .75ct to 1.00ct round or more like a .80ct to .85ct oval?
I am already confusing myself as I write this.
Please educate me or show me the error of my thinking. Thanks!
