Thanks for responding to my ?
So sorry that I'd like more clarification just in case I do an upgrade someday!
If an original ring costs $5,000 and 17% of that to upgrade would be around $850. Do you subtract $5,000 - $850 =$4,150 and need to spend double the $4,150 buying a new ring for $$8,300? So if you swap back the original, you need to cover the difference in price plus the $850 fee?

yes, that's right!
 
You can post them here, and we can help you. I personally think if you love with your eyes, that you need to not worry about the paper. But the numbers that are important to me:
Table Percentage (preferably 55%)
Depth Percentage (around 60-62%)
Crown Angle
Pavilion Angle
Culet (should be 0 or none)

We can run them through a small tool to see if they are in a good range, but really the first two for me are bread and butter.
Hi Ame!

So I just got my diamond certificate in the mail and since I don't really understand the numbers, I thought I'd get your input on it...

Total depth %- 62.2%
Table size %- 56%
Crown height %- 15.2%
Crown angle- 34.6 degrees
Star length %- 55%
Pavilion depth %- 43.5%
Pavilion angle- 41.1 degrees
Lower half length %- 75%
Girdle thickness- medium
Girdle finish- faceted
Cutlet- none
Fluorescence- none

Also it's triple excellent in cut, polish and symmetry.

I really love my diamond but I'm just curious... Is it a pretty good diamond?!
 
It's lovely and looks great! Are YOU happy?

Is the report a GIA report? I want to know who graded it "triple excellent".

I ran the numbers on the HCA (the angles, not the percents) and it's I believe 2.6 which is "a good buy if the price is right". Price is right is relative. It's just outside of the general "consensus" on that tool, but what matters is NOT the paperwork, not the HCA score. It's what YOU SEE and if you are happy with the stone. And I believe you said you LOVE it so that's all that matters. THere are plenty of AMAZING diamonds that are in fact quite well cut that will fall out of the 0-2 range on that tool, it is not a lab developed tool. Some guy in the business developed it. It is not the end all nor should it be.
