i came across this GIA certified F SI1 triple ex .3 carat diamond on Zoara.com which is also listed as hearts and arrows on their site. When i put in the numbers on Holloway cut adviser it gave out a score of 4.8 and the following results. I am just wondering if anyone know how this diamond with these specs yield such horrible results on the HCA. (GIA Report 1225685009) Anyone?
