[JulieN]

Where did you get 40.9 Pavilion?

 

[Carnevil]

From the GIA certificate...

maybe I am not understanding your question....

 

[JulieN]

can you double check? www.gia.edu/reportcheck if your copy of the report is not clear.

GIA does not issue a 40.9 PA, as they are rounded up to the nearest .2 degree.

what does this mean?

 

[JulieN]

A BIC is for Brilliant Ideal Cut, which is for stones with CA<=32 and HCA<2.

Are you buying online or locally? I think you should compare it to some TICs.

 

[Carnevil]

I am not familiar with TIC, is that total interest cost?

This is not an online purchase...it is from a jeweler that is local.

again, not familiar with ca<=32 or hca<2.....

 

[JulieN]

Crown Angle=CA TIC=Tolkowsky Ideal Cut

TIC has crown angle between 32 and 36, but usually much more centered around 34-35. In this range tend to display an agreeable balance between fire and white light.

 

[Carnevil]

So, is this a good stone?

It''s also under 2, so it might be a good choice. Look at them in person to see if you like it.

 

[Carnevil]

by the way,,,

Is there a huge deal difference for the crown angle to be 31.5 vs. 32 degrees????
