Stone with HCA score under 1.0 tends to have very poor performance. Is this true?!

Having in my possession many diamonds with HCA''s below 1.0 I can emphatically state that the statement that stones below an HCA score of 1.0 are poor performers is pure bunk. They have the potential to be if not cut to tight tolerances, but they can be stunning as well.

P.S. By the way, just to clarify...the vendor didn''t tell me that ALL of them have poor performance; they told me ''TEND TO have poor performance...''

For my part in the discussion, I didn''t really think he was suggesting that *all* have poor performance.

However, the phrasing seemed to suggest it happens a majority of the time, and that''s.......well, as Wink would say, that''s just hogwash.

LOL! I missed this earlier, but what a shock that would be to my poor wife!
