Hello Guys,
I am planning buy a pendant for my wife. I barely remembered the words from a 2013 essay "people no longer create head shadow on diamond when they look at a pendant horizontally. How much light the diamond reflect is more important than fire and scintillation for pendant. A shallower crown angle diamond is better for pendant." IS this theory still works? and how much shallower is best? Does anyone knows the exact CA、 PA、table% and depth% that shows the greatest brilliance for a Pendant diamond?
I compared two 60:60 diamonds.
(1)The first diamond is Carat:2.15 Depth60.1 Table 59 Crown32 Pavilion 41.2 and Meaurements of 8.35*8.39*5.03, which gives a HCA score of 1.9-Excellent-within BIC range that has Very Good in light return, Fire and Scintillation and Excellent in Spread.
(2)The second diamond is Carat:2.29 Depth60.2 Table 59 Crown33 Pavilion 41 and Meaurements of 8.5*8.56*5.13, which gives a HCA score of 1.0-Excellent-within TIC range that has Excellent in all four evalution criterions.
Which diamond is better for a necklace?
