I have varied the crown 5 times more then the pavilion in this video.

I dont have a favorite there are many different combinations that can produce wonderful diamonds.
it is technical video how to use "Sweet line" during allocation process.
Coming HPO version has similar functionality for Fancy cuts .
This is also an amazing video, thank you (and the 7-degrees tilted one - tilted ASET is the way forward!I have varied the crown 5 times more then the pavilion in this video.

I think the next level to this is to cut some 1ct MMD from identical-quality rough, each stone being a step in the video or a step along the Sweet Line, and putting them side by side in the same lighting, to demonstrate how ASET performance translates to 'real life' performance
I appreciate something like that is not the work of a moment nor free, though...![]()
lol
I guess that if I ran a diamond shop, such a display piece (maybe even a diamond for each of the combos in the ASET tables?) could be an interesting conversation piece and also an education tool, from which a customer could pick what appeals to their eyes more
I imagine that if the shop was an MMD vendor with the ability to custom-order to whatever the preferred specification was (if we assume that MMD rough is more consistent and easier to cut to preferred specs...), it would mean a customer getting exactly what they wanted and no risk of carrying stock that didn't sell!
On a totally unrelated note, has anyone got a lot of money to invest in a new Custom Order MMD shop...?

@OoohShiny,
Unfortunately, optical performance does not trivially scale up from mêlée diamonds (such as 1 mm stones) to large diamonds (such as 1 carat stones). There are two problems: girdle thickness, and facets and flashes being too small to distinctly see.
I would be interested "in a new Custom Order MMD shop". Feel free to reach out to me via e-mail. I doubt the money I have available would be anything more than seed capital, though. A Silicon Prairie-style private offering might work. I wonder how much of an investment would be needed to require PriceScope members to switch from "consumer" status to "trade" status on PriceScope.
That is great Sergey, and I love the sweet line video - sent a link to all my team.Cutwise

There is a saying that is as old as aset itself you can use aset to design some pretty crappy diamonds that pass the aset test.@Garry H (Cut Nut) , @Serg , on the chart, some of the images show that the VG cut in some cases looks as good as the Ex...like the one with 40.16 pav, 34.55 cr.
yes and it would look totally dead too.That is so great!! I am guessing it would look huge...yes?

Bright is easy with a RB making it have a great balance of brightness,contrast, scintillation and fire is not so easy which is why everyone takes the easy way and cuts near modern tolk for performance cuts and steep deep for the $$$.
What Serg is trying to do is expand the concept of performance cuts to an expanded range of proportions at the cutter level.
But just using ASET is a false trail which is not a trap Serg fell into but is the reason a rejected proportion set could have a good looking ASET.
It will be interesting to see if anyone takes it up, AGSL was not able to do it.
