Spread of good cut 20 point diamond?

[D2B]

Hi

Just curious, can anyone tell me what the mm spread of a excellent cut 20 point and if possible 15 point round brilliant diamond is. I am just curious as I have been trawling the local B&M and there seems to be quite a mm discrepancy - so I am asumming some have poor cut while others are cut better IYKWIM.

If anyone can tell me - thanks for satisfying my curiousity.

cheers

A 20 pointer in a round should spread around 3.8 mm and a 15 pointer 3.4mm. Hope this helps!

Thanks heaps Lorelei
That is excactly the info I was after. Is there a table I can look up somewhere eg 13 points would be ??

Going around the shops it is amazing the amount of bad diamonds you see in the standard B&M.
Thanks goodness for pricescope.

Are you remembering that as the diamond gets bigger it also gets deeper, so if the diamonds come between your finger I would think at that size you would feel them, maybe it wouldn''t bother you because it doesn''t bother some and it does some.
