Now getting a D colour or a VVS stone is like an overkill. But when it comes to engagement ring, overkill seems quite appropriate, as long as your budget allows you to do so.
Today I am going to write about 2 ACAs that looks amazing. Let's start off with the first one:
Now this diamond looks pretty good. Personally I would prefer the 56.8% table to be slightly smaller when it is paired with a total diamond depth that is above 61.5%. I observed that usually diamond around this depth is usually paired with smaller table, hence the preference. Nonetheless, it is just an observation that becomes a preference, to keep things simple, as long as the diamond falls within the ACA strict proportions and the other performance images looks great, I won't hesitate to shortlist it, which is the case here.
This diamond possess the classic look of a 57-facets diamond and it looks great. The 34.6 crown angle is a very well-balanced angle for fire and brilliance while the 40.8 pavilion angle is also another top-notch angle that can ensure great light return. Now, how do I come out with that? You see, ACA specs state that the crown angle has to be between 34 to 35 degree while pavilion angle has to be between 40.6 to 40.9 degree. So for crown angle, that makes 34.5 to be the middle of the range and it is the classic Tolkowsky ideal cut crown angle. Since 34.6 degree is close enough to 34.5, that makes it a well-balanced angle. By the way, from GIA point of view, 34.6 degree will be 34.5 degree on paper because they will round up crown angle to the nearest 0.5 degree. Now, for pavilion angle, it is good because it is also right in between 40.6 and 40.9 degree. If we compared to Tolkowsky ideal cut for pavilion angle, it is actually 40.75 degree, which makes 40.8 to closest angle if we apply the normal mathematical rounding.
Getting the Tolkowsky ideal cut proportions is really just a bonus. In reality, the ACA set of proportions is already very tight, hitting those proportions is already suffice to get a very good diamond. Instead, diamonds that fall within these proportions are known as Tolkowsky Ideal Cut (TIC).

This WhiteFlash ACA that falls under Collection Series is another stunner!
Wow! Now, this diamond hits all the numbers I am aiming at. The smaller table at 55.8% can help to increase the fire of the diamond a little bit theoretically. This is because as the table is small and the crown height is tall (which is the case for this diamond here), the angled crown will have a bigger area to refract the light into beautiful rainbow colours! The 76% lower girdle percentage will ensure beautiful bold sparks to be returned to the viewer.
Again, this diamond's proportions will definitely fall under Tolkowsky Ideal Cut (TIC). This can ensure a well-balanced performance when the diamond is viewed under different lighting in different environment. Like the diamond above, this diamond exhibit superb craftsmanship, however, I would prefer this diamond because of the proportions that can exhibit extra fire. Nonetheless, this is just personal preference.
Both of these diamonds are not cheap if we compared to a standard GIA 3EX diamond or a standard AGS Triple Zero diamond. However, one have to understand that the time and effort that is spent to cut a high precision diamond is actually more, hence the higher price tag. I believe in buying something that is not too overly charged and at the same time, able to proof its performance is worthwhile. Together with generous return policy and upgrade policy, these make WhiteFlash ACAs to be something that is worthy to purchase. Overall, both of these diamonds are very well-cut diamonds that are worthy to be part of an engagement ring,
Until next time.
