I moved most interesting information about small MSS to new Topic. If I forgot something, please to add.
Please use this topic to discuss about small MSS only. Thanks.
"I am ready invest 5.000-10.000$ to small MSS
Part 1 GIA Excellent
1) Crown is fix*
2) Pavilion step 0.2 degree. 40.6, 41, 41.2, 41.4, 41.6
Part 2
click Painted crown. Same crown Pav 40.6, Pav 40.4( I want try receive Good here)
Part 3
Some GIA very good ( 3-4 diamonds)
40.4 , 40.8 + some other diamonds
*I think most interesting crown for such tests is 35 degree( 34 degree is very interesting too)
Table =57%
All ideal symmetry. Clarity an color are good for sells. Diameter 5-6 mm
I will send all diamonds to GIA and AGS.
This MSS will available for different appraisers and consumer research at least 3 months.
Welcome to invest Money, Time, Ideas, service. Hope Garry will help.
Our study will open during all steps.
Garry:
M = master S=stone S= study
Put me down for $5,000 Sergey - I guess we will get some or most of that money back after we sell the diamonds - and we could ask the labs to refund their fees perhaps - most of the stones would never be saleable with those reports.
1) Crown is fix 34, 34.5 or 35 within .2 degrees would be good. Table should be between 55 and 58% ???
40.4 , 40.8 + some other diamonds I would like to start at 40.0 then 40.2
Part 2
click Painted crown. Same crown Pav 40.6, Pav 40.4( I will try receive just Good here) why so shallow? Painting makes a stone appear more shallow.
Sergey:
re:The bigger the better - say 3/4ct - in a perfect world the stones are all either the same diameter and different weights - but all in the same weight / price grid - or the same diameter but different weights. This is what i tried to do with my Diamond Dock study.
Garry, I prefer same diameter for all diamonds. 6mm<>3/4 ct
Rhino:
I too am interested in garnering results for this as well. I think I know some manufacturers (MSS?) who are up for the task. Matter of fact, Paul Slegers, if we give him a model can basically duplicate it. I recently had a feww new stones cut by him for experimentation and research on a new line we are considering to stock and he did a rather remarkable job of duplicating the DiamCalc model I forwarded to him. If you''d like to compare his results with the model I sent I''ll show you the comparisons in email. I would be willing to put up some cash as well for this and will help sell the test stones once all the testing is complete by whomever you have participate.
Sergey:
Paul has not Helium. I prefer big Indian manufactures with Helium( more possibility for selection and more cheap for our type work)"
