Why are ASET, Ideal-scope and Hearts & Arrows images more meaningful?
At this time ASET, ideal-scope and H&A images are proven natural methods of interpreting the performance potential of a diamond with static, natural views. Hardware issues, calibrations and software calculation errors inhibit mechanical interpretation of diamond beauty. Natural views with these simple and elegant tools have no such error. Will you use mechanized assessment in the future? When relevant and repeatable technology is developed we may adopt it. We recognize the marketing value that could help us make sales, but won’t compromise our commitment to setting standards that are meaningful for our customers. For now we continue to investigate such devices and wait until one gives relevant and repeatable results which satisfy our standards. Until that time we endorse the same natural assessment techniques used by the world’s leading diamond cutters and laboratories. What are the HCA (Holloway Cut Advisor) and GIA Cut Estimators? These online computerized estimators predict performa
