What makes a good cut, does table and graph % make a big difference with fire and brillance. Can I really find a diamond with table and graphs both in the 60's. I have only really seen them online.

I am far from an expert, but what I have found in reading and looking at different jewerly stores the cut definately matters in the sparkle. You can find a good cut diamond that still sparkles very nice, it does not have to be excellant. I would stay clear from mall jewelers, they will try to sell you a cert diamond with black chunks and a milky color. They market those diamonds by saying "it is cert". Which is just telling you the grades of the diamond, it does not necessarily mean that it is a better diamond. I have heard that you get a better deal buying a diamond online, and usually they offer you a choice of GIA or AGS cert, which will give you the % you are looking for. Most mall stores do not have the cut information that you would want to know when buying a diamond.

Only knowing the table and depth percentage doesn't help in knowing how well the cut is on the diamond.
You also should find out the crown angle and pavilion angle for a more crucial look at the cut grade.
Stick with stone that have a GIA lab report and a sarin analysis and also an AGS lab report which will give you the sarin information. If you want to know how well it sparkles without actually seeing the stone, you need to locate someone that can show you the light performance from the brilliancescope. For more information go to:
