u never state the price how pple comment if it is worth?

Eclarity price is cheaper with similar specs. But no scope. N they claim that HCA is not recognised. How true is that?

Good HCA score is not a recognized guarantee of quality.. It is at best a rough estimate of how well proportioned the cut is..

Just went to JP n eclarity today.

Super ideal
0.527 F VS2 $3,800
0.51 E VS1 $4,150
Solasfera
0.53 E VS1 $5,300

HCA is a useful tool to reject out poorly cut diamond only. It cannot be used a a decision maker to choose your diamond as there's still alot of other important factors it ignores. A diamond with a high HCA score confirms the diamond is poorly cut, indicating that the basic diamond proportion is poor.
High HCA score = reject

But... a low HCA score doesn't confirm that the diamond is good. You need to further confirm it with the scopes
Low HCA score = Check further with scopes

Eclarity does not carry Super Ideal Cuts. Their quality is different and won't be a fair comparison. Super Ideal cut is worth more.

JP just uploaded a video comparison of Super ideal cut and Ideal cut. Difference is quite obvious.. Even the Ideal cut diamond have a lower HCA score 0.9
Goes to show, HCA score is not everything.

The video beckslim posted is a good example.
Super Ideal cut diamond - HCA score 1.1
Ideal Cut diamond - HCA score 0.9
The Ideal cut have a lower HCA score but still pales in comparison against a Super Ideal Cut.

Agree a small but good diamond can look bigger than it is. But I not sure if clarity is that impt? Since it's what u can see with a 10x scope

Double check on the indented natural -"An indented natural is a portion of the stone that has been left in its natural state (rough) and is below the level of the rest of the facet/where the diamond surface "should" be. In general they are absolutely nothing to worry about in terms of durability, but aesthetically it depends (as always) on size and location."

Aset looks like some leakage? The rest looks fine

I m so undecided

Reserved a .71d vs2 previously.

Went to see a .79 E VS2..

Was thinking if the .79 will be too big? My gf ring size, not too sure but prob 7... Was thinking if I should wait for a .75

 

[iNoStandard]

i would suggest LeeHwa destinee or Citigem Perfect Love

if you can afford the top-up i would say go for it. i am wearing a 0.78, at first i think it is big... as time pass.. i want a bigger stone!

but does your gal like big or small stone?
