I know this subject was brought up before, but I don't think any clear answer was reached. I only ask this again because during my research I've gotten a few conflicting answers and I want to run it by again to be sure.
Now, just in terms of what a novice can notice with his/her naked eye, is there ANY noticable difference between the Excellent/Ideal, Very Good, and Good cut grades in either the polish or symmetry category? Are ALL the differences just under a microscope, or is there a difference you can notice just by looking at it? We all want our women to have the brightest, shiniest, and most firey thing we can buy, but in the interest of all the budget buyers here I want to settle this once and for all.
Put it this way, would ANY of these diamonds look different, all things being equal (assume an Ideal cut) ?
Polish/Symmetry:
-Very Good/Very Good
-Very Good/Good
-Good/Very Good
-Good/Good
In terms of what you can notice with the naked eye (novicewise), are any of the above combinations to be avoided? Would they all look the same? Is either polish or symmetry more important than the other? If possible, I'd love to get Very Good in both categories, but if I had to settle with a Good rating on one or both of the categories, which one should it be (or would a demotion in either one negatively impact the visual quality)? I'm sorry to be reiterative, but I'm sure that's what a lot of novice budget buyers are pondering right now, and I think it would help us out a lot to get some good advice from the experienced here.
Thanks!!
