Please help analyze Tiffany ring

[NovaRingSearch]

I just bought this ring from Tiffany''s & Co. It looked good on my Ideal Scope, and scored 1.1 on the Holloway Cut Advisor. The online GIA tool rated it an Excellent cut. Are there any other tools I can use to analyze my purchase? It was an expensive ring, but the cut seems good. Thoughts?

last test: does it look good to your eyes?

I''m sure it is beautiful. . . do you have any pictures of the ring to show us?

No picture -- won''t have it back from re-sizing for another week.

It looked better than the VS1 I compared it to. Proof that cut is much more important than 1 (or more?) clarity grades. I could also tell the difference in the Ideal Scope from a 2.0 HCA stone.

BTW -- I payed $9650 for the ring. Figure the setting (tiffany solitare classic) is worth at least $1500 (considering the price of the replicas). Comparable stones on Pricescope and Blue Nile are priced about $6000-6500. That means the Tiffany & Co. name brand premium was only $1500-2000. For that difference, the brand name is worth it. Of course, I had to look at a few Tiffany stones on their system to get a cut I liked.

P.S. make them piss you off some how - they send you really nice stuff to say I''m sorry.

Congratulations on the ring!

A lower score on the HCA doesn''t mean it''s a better diamond. A stone that scores 2 can be just as beautiful as one that scores 1.3.
