I just rendered/enlarged both crown mains at the long side and one corner (as you displayed above)..., see the valley it will cut into the existing girdle??? Now you need to insert identical valley''s to the pavilion side enlargement..., resulting in eliminating the existing girdle and shortening the length of the shape.
your sigline is too apropos lol

DS!! Hi
I honestly am not pushing for a recut - I''m happy to be convinced it is unneeded but when storm makes comments like he did well... and I don''t want him to say aw nevermind I won''t comment anymore, I just want to explore this. The very least I need to reset it but if that''s the case then I have some time. What I need to find sooner is an emerald!!
I think she means the "trade in policy?" line ... not that she was offended by it. Just maybe discouraged?Date: 9/12/2009 10:55:28 PM

ah ok, was a logical question because re-cutting it makes no sense and it is very pretty the way it is.Date: 9/12/2009 11:28:44 PM

Does anyone have a shot of a true old mine brilliant with evenly sized 8 mains?Date: 9/12/2009 1:43:44 PM

Okay, I''m either lazy or impatient so I''m going to just post my old cushion chart I made like 3 years ago and start a conversation because diagem says I should know and I don''t know but I want to more than know, I want to understand.
So in this chart the stones I am looking at in particular are 5, 6, and 8:
In 5 you have a slightly elongated cushion (I''d guess 1:1.20 and by guess I measured the screen lol) and 8 evenly spaced mains.
In 6 you have a very slightly elongated cushion (I''d guess 1:1.10 but by measure it also is 1:1.20) with thin corner mains.
In 8 you have what by eyeball looks about the same 1.20 ratio with the ends even and wider along the sides.
Here''s my stone - from my sarin:
And here is futzing with my stone in paintshop (I''ll get back to the question in the next post)

Anyway -- my vote is new setting period. No recut. No tweaking. And it doesn''t matter *who* cut the darn thing. Seriously. Does it matter who built your house? Do you want to invite them over for dinner & talk about the depth of the kick plates under the cabinets? What happened to the wonkiness being its main appeal? You can ''improve'' something right into soulessness. Sure you might know the person who ruined your stone but is that gonna help you sleep at night. I think not. Find a temp setting. See how you feel about it in *any* other setting. The way a loose stone performs is very different -- you might have had the same feeling about any perfectly perfect cushion. Or other complaints. Etc. You''ll have two years to think about this while you''re in China. What''s the rush?
Thank you Deco!

Well that is not true - you are very special and your knowledge and interest in diamonds is way above average even for people who worked in the industry for decades.
Very nice stone obviously, but as Jon pointed out, while the facets may be more evenly sized the optics do not exhibit the same such symmetry. Looks like a considerable amount of darkness and obstruction breaking up those mains.Date: 9/13/2009 2:19:57 AM

That maximilian diamond is not quite as long but it still is somewhat elongated and it has what I consider absolutely beautiful and visually even pavillions
by my measurements this is a 1.16 ratio stone. It is a little big at 40+ carats but... to me this is the absolute perfect look to a stone. perfect ratio - perfect pavillions... just gorgeous gorgeous. Slightly out of my price range

Wow - that is the most flattering thing... I''m speechless! I used the free version a couple years ago. I know I have always said that it''s all physics and the numbers are just waiting to be crunched out, but I never thought I would be handed the tools to do it myself lol I have no idea how long or involved the learning curve is on this. I''m going to email you Garry.
Thank you Sergey!

Sergey asked me to post this message and Admin agrees that it would be fun and educational for all.
“Hi Cehrabehra,
We do not like do gifts but if you are “special enough”, you can receive DC
1) We send you DC( Hasp key for standard version)
2) You try do recut in DC (cut Designer). You need use your current 3D model and optimize pattern or Light Return at least. It is hard task , but you have real chances do it.
3) If you publish reasonable results ( new 3d model with low yield lost (up to you), good LR,.. and YOU AGREE for such RECUT! Reasonable good result means you agree for such recut ) in 3 months on PS, you won DC. Otherwise you need return hasp key
DO you agree for such game? “
Let us know Sara, and we will have someone send you a DiamCalc hasp key.
