Thanks so much for this! I found another stone but it’s VS2 and slightly smaller measurements. Still got a TIC score though!

Hey! Good for you. I like the numbers on this one. VS2 should be okay.

I was just reading old posts and found this one you might be interested in reading. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/ags-and-gia-cut-comparison-charts.41793/ It charts the CA/PA proportions that GIA and AGS agree on for Excellent/ Ideal (AGS no longer uses charts but I find them helpful). It could help you stay in the safe zone if you end up choosing something with a shallower crown or steeper pavillion. Basically you want to pay attention to the blue zones. Use a ruler to make sure you stay on line and you can write down the possible combinations for each table size. I’d focus on the 41 and 40.6 PA since that vendor has a lot of those two choices.

But again I think you just found a good candidate.

Thanks so much for the link! Do you think the VS2 2.26ct (HCA 0.8 TIC) is a better option than the VS1 2.27ct (HCA 0.5 TIC) then?

If you’re shopping in the US now I’d much rather you buy this one. No question about the HCA on a super ideal like this and only two thousand more. https://www.hpdiamonds.com/en-us/diamonddetail/HPD10645

Oops, here’s the chart.

Interesting charts! Would you happen to have the 55 and 57 crown charts as well or provide a resource I could search for them?

@Mavimaui Sure, here you go.

I'm not I'm afraid. I live in the UK and both borders are closed so I have no idea when I'll be able to get back over there. Plus I really don't want to any lower than G colour.

How about Blue Nile? I believe many people in the UK shop there.

Thank you. The reason I haven't gone with Blue Nile is that they're actually quite a bit more expensive than Dubai

I’m not sure what the HCA means when it rates symmetry. Here is the 58% chart.

Thanks for this. Do you have a chart for a 57% table please?
