It would be really helpful if you could post the GIA cert. #...that, combined with the carat weight will allow the "experts" to assist you better (I put experts in quotes, b/c I am not even close, but know that those who are will ask you to do this)....

HCA score is 4.0

I know anything under 2 is considered excellent and that it's mainly used as a weed out tool and all that...

Anyone else's thoughts on that score?

 

[zephoid]

It's funny when I put in the percentages instead of the angles I get a 3.8 score. Regardless, when I saw the diamond I thought it was really good. But then I went to HCA and it kind of deterred me. So I was wondering what people's opinion is...

I think that is a steep/deep which may have leakage under the table, someone like stone or yssie would know more though.

Yap, steep/deep. Not promising, will have leakage and performing visibly less well compare to a stone with HCA <2. Angles are more accurate because of rounding in the calculation of %.

Probably similar to #3 and #9 stone in this article. https://www.pricescope.com/journal/laboratory_cut_grades_what_report_doesn’t_show

what type of lighting did you see the diamond in? if you have a chance to see it again, make sure to look at it in different lighting (preferably away from the jewelry store spotlighting, maybe by a window). If you can compare it to an AGS0, that would be good as you can compare it to an ideal cut and see what you prefer.

I just saw it in the stores, just a beginner that's why I figured I'll confer with you guys. So is this a terrible diamond or is it ok?

 

[slg47]

well, terrible is subjective. it's not an ideal cut, that's for sure.

Ditto. Depends on what you want and if the price is good. Not a stone I would go with.

 

[zephoid]

I see, I appreciate your opinions. Thanks.

I agree with this.

What was the price?
