Re: "Natural Diamond: TYPE IaAB" - What the heck does this m

geese you guys are harsh... i am def not a troll... you guys get offended easily tho!

I will learn in the future to be more weary of my online tone... I was just frustrated that there wasn't definitive information on IaAB, other than what I originally posted I found.... Sorry...

Anyway- I appreciate all the comments in my other thread... the reason I kept asking was because I felt people were just looking at the fact it was EGL international and not just answering my questions about the numbers until I repeated them...

yes, there are stones that face up bigger... but not many for the same price range... and I am talking cushions here, not round... not much out there in 2 carats...

and yes, I know its not the best stone in the world but I dont want to go any smaller and have yet to find anything similar... the ones people posted werent quite comparable...

but when my AGS comes back on Monday I'll be able to compare apples to apples... and if then I realize I can do way better, than I will move on and consider the $250 wasted but well worth it to know for sure...

thank you for all your help- i say thank you after every post... check my other thread... not "entitled" at all... humble, actually....you guys sure get riled up over nothing...

4. What is the point in having a 2 carat stone that looks like a 1.7? Is it just for bragging rights that it's a two carat stone? Cause that's just ignorant. Educate your lady about how dimensions and carat weight correlate and have her make an educated choice about which she prefers: size or carat weight, instead of just assuming.

Please post a link to a 1.7 Cushion that has the same surface area if u see one... They are very hard to find in cushion shape with similar characteristics.... I have looked on james allen/blue nile etc... Look at most 2.0s on james allen and blue nile... a lot have similar surface area as this one... not all, but a lot... cushions are difficult to get everything u want... wish she just wanted a round instead

Your question in the other thread was answered in the very first response, THAT THERE ARE NO SET NUMBERS FOR CUSHION CUTS, and you kept asking for those numbers, and the same answer was given over and over again.

so these should be ignored then?

Yes. It says nothing about crowns or pavilions. It is a bad chart.

The AGA chart is more helpful and even that is a very loose guideline. A $25 Idealscope would tell you more.
