I'm looking for a 2.50 or slightly larger diamond for my engagement ring. I've narrowed the search down to a couple of diamonds and would lilke some unbiased advice. Also would like to know more about the Holloway Cut Analysis rating. Does a lower score mean better light return? I understand that if it's under 2 it's considered in the excellent range. If I'm comparing two diamonds that I'm considering purchasing, one with a 1.8 and the other 0.7...Does the one with the lower score mean that it will have better light return, fire, scintillation? With the information below, which is the better the diamond?
