Question of Day for the Experts

[Dr. Know Little Diamond]

What is the min/max amount of variance that is acceptable for a hearts and arrows diamond to be considered a "true" hearts and arrows diamond?

Hello Dr. Know,
Go to pricescope.com and click on Hearts and Arrows Explained on the left hand side of the page. About the 4th or 5th page in you will see the answer to your question.
You also need to know that many sellers of H&A have different standards.

Thanks for the response, but I was looking for specific numerical min/max variances (crown, pavillion, table, etc)not the general overview of hearts and arrows.

There is no proportion for H&A.
You can have a very wide range - many of which are quite bad looking diamonds, but still show H&A's.

Thanks - arrived home 6am, slept for 3 hours and now it is nearly 10pm, so hopefully will sleep till 6am and have no more jet lag after that

4 hour drive, 2 hour flight, 2 hour wait, 11 hour flight, 2 hour refuel stop then 7 hours flight.
The trouble with travel is you spend more time in and out of airports than sitting in the seat!!
