I''m hoping the answer is buy ACA from WF or any other ''super ideal'' like superbcerts, GOG H&A and cut by Infinity. I can''t tell you much about dimensions and angle % but I did look at a few Hearts on Fire and they really did out perform other stones I had look at that same day.
Just rereading your post, can you clarify as to what you mean by sparkle? Sparkle can consist of both coloured light ( fire) and white light as well as other components, in my opinion as I said before, a well balanced stone should give you a nice mix of both. Also depending on what you want, a non branded diamond, non H&A, or a nice make of stone- a non superideal for example can still be a beautiful diamond. You could also centre your search around AGS0 and GIA Excellent cut grade to make finding a lovely stone easier, but evaluate especially the GIA Excellents using the cut advisor and Idealscope/ vendor input to find the best out of these.Date: 7/23/2008 12:40:19 PM

Wow Dave. It's funny, I would probably have said the opposite. It seems like our devices are more designed to calculate overall brightness (light return). Ideal-Scope and ASET are such examples. Gemex, ISEE and Imagem are all counting pixels of light to reach their values. While some assessment of colored light is taking place in those machines human physiology and environment both strongly influence what the eye will see as dispersion - and since they have only one environment and no physiology it seems to me they're, in essence, figuring a brightness there as well. AGS Ray-Tracing and DiamCalc are able to calculate values with environmental changes considered... but no device we have yet gives a meaningful measure of scintillation in my opinion.
...DiamCalc and ImaGem can tell you a lot about sparkle, scintillation and to some extent, fire. Within these systems one has a fixed lighting model or fixed environment which makes consistent results. They are limited only by lack of universal standardization.
It is far easier to quantify 'brilliance' because it involves all light returned, colored and colorless. One can fully know how much light is being applied to a diamond and the percentage or gray scale of the light being returned to the sensor.
I should clarify the highlighted part should say BIC.Date: 7/23/2008 2:20:28 PM

A well-cut TIC will give you the best balance of fire and white light, but if you want the bright white sparkle more, you might want to look for a TIC. Just plug stones into the HCA to find one.
They are fairly common, quite a bit easier to find than a FIC. If you post the carat size, color/clarity you are looking for we could search for you to try to find one.Date: 7/23/2008 5:46:37 PM

In that case, I would just have them pull some diamonds for you and write down the stats and get your impressions of the stones. Then, post the stats here and we can give you a review of the stones.Date: 7/23/2008 6:14:32 PM
