Symmetry

[jddiamond]

General question please. I have seen a diamond with the following measurments
56 table, 61.6 depth, 34.5 crown angle, 41.0 pav angle.
This scored a 1.9 TIC. This score looks great.
The problem, the symmetry is listed as very good, not excellent. Do they influence one another, and what does it matter. (I was looking for an Ideal cut RB, ex polish, es symm)
Essentially, if the score is 1.9, how much does it matter to the quality of the stone if the symm is "only" VG. Thanks again for all your help.

You will not be able to see it with your eye, it is only visible, and only by those who know what to look for, under examination with a loupe or microscope. It would have to be lower than VG for you to see it with your eye.

The only difference it will make is to the price, a few %, and to the "mind cleaness" of the gem, it will not at all affect the visual performance of the diamond.

it may be helpful to know that lab graded symmetry and optical symmetry are different things.

In fact you''ll find H&A''s, GIA Ex''s, AGS LP 0''s, BrillianceScope VH,VH,VH''s etc out there with ''only'' VG symmetry.
