I have been lurking around the site for the past couple of weeks getting educated on the diamond buying process. I want to start by thanking you''ll in advance for your assistance Everyone seems very knowledgeable when it comes the the 4C''s and beyond. I had never heard of a DiamXray, Aset Imagery or IdealScope analysis so needless to say this has all been an eye opener. The information that I have obtained in the forum and other websites, particularly Good old Gold, has been invaluable. I took the weekend to go to a couple of B&M establishments and was blown away by the lack imagery that they provide. For example, I asked about Aset and DiamXray imagery at Jared and the women looked at me as if I was speaking a different language.
Now for the crux of the issue...
I have obtained some spec of round H & A''s that I''m considering. I ran them all through the HCA and they averaged between 1.1 - 1.7 So good so far, however this begs another question, how to choose b/t diamonds that are so similar? But I digress. Two of the diamonds were from blue nile and they come out at .7 and .8. Am I missing something here? Why did they receive a score that is so much lower? If anyone can assist I would appreciate it.
