New discovery - for me anyway

[pyramid]

I have a stone which is 40.6 pavilion and 35 degrees crown angle. With table percent of 56 and lower pavilion halves of 75%. My stone is a 1.2 on HCA. Anyway I noticed in the livingroom which is all shades of brown, cream etc that in the morning the stone looked brownish, it is a G colour. Like from shadowing, so I was reading a time ago and according to HCA my stone may be best as a pendant. This is a 83 point stone I own.

I was thinking that the shadowing would be from my head as I have dark hair and was looking at the ring in ring box, so open in front and sides but behind ring is the box lid. Well today I happened to look at it as I thought it is afternoon, now, not a bright day but see if there is a difference.

There was no difference but I made a discovery. The shadow is not from my head but from the light coming in a large window. When I put my hand up to the box side which is nearest the window, the stone is bright as can be. So why is this as I thought pendants were better because of head shadow. I think it is the shadow of the high crown with the light behind it causing the shadow.

Karl K anyone?

By the way, I am sitting side onto the window so the box is side on to the window too but straight in front of me.

That's doesn't sound like a pendant stone. It has lovely proportions for a ring. A 1.2 on HCA is prime ideal cut territory. Diamonds take on color from surroundings. My diamond looks worst in my car with tinted windows on a sunny day. I also have beige walls and hardwood floors, so my stone isn't as white inside as it is in natural lighting.

Yes DS but if you type it into the HCA it is on the bar for pendant stone. The depth is 61.8. I will see if I can post the link here to HCA results. The HCA is 0.9 not 1.2 (I remembered it wrongly). Can't seem to post result but the bar it is shown at is best for pendants.
