\"Good<\/div>\n

What Does Good Mean?<\/h2>\n

\nUsually “Good<\/strong>“, right?<\/p>\n

\nNice, Satisfactory, Admirable…<\/strong><\/p>\n

But usually Just “Good!”<\/h2>\n

\nAs in…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n“How Are You?<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

“Good!”<\/h2>\n

\n“How Was The Soup?<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

“Good!”<\/h2>\n

\n“How Was Work?<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

“Good!”<\/h2>\n

\n“What Did You Think About The Movie?<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

“Good!”<\/h2>\n

\n(Doesn’t Make You Want to See it!)<\/p>\n

\nSo it’s NOT GREAT! NOT FANTASTIC<\/strong>… Just Good<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\nGood is Good, but with Diamonds, Good is Questionable<\/strong>. It’s a Middle of the Road Cut<\/strong>, an Average Grade, Basic<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nWith a “Good<\/strong>” Cut, your Diamond will Look Fine<\/strong>… Or Maybe Not<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

You Never Know<\/h2>\n

\nIt Could Face up Blah<\/strong>. Dark<\/strong>. Dull<\/strong>. It Could Lack Sparkle, Brilliance and Fire. <\/p>\n

\nIn my Eyes, “Good<\/strong>” should be Renamed “OKAY<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

\nBecause when you see the Word “Good<\/strong>” on a Diamond Report, you think Great<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

But that’s Deceiving…<\/h2>\n

\nAs in this Example Diamond Below<\/strong> (Which is an SI2, G, Good Cut Diamond<\/a>)…<\/p>\n

\n\"SI2<\/a><\/p>\n

Good is the Middle Grade<\/h2>\n

\nGIA has 5 Cut Grades for Diamonds<\/strong>. They are:<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Excellent<\/li>\n
  2. Very Good<\/li>\n
  3. Good<\/li>\n
  4. Fair<\/li>\n
  5. Poor<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Good is Dead Center<\/h2>\n

    \nWhich also Means, it Could Look Better, it Could Look Worse<\/strong>. It all Depends on the Actual Stone and the other Diamond Traits like Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Good is Just Good, Not Fabulous!<\/h2>\n

    \nSo Which Diamond would you Prefer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \nA Good <\/strong>Diamond, or a Great <\/strong>Diamond?<\/p>\n

    \nCompare a “Good<\/strong>” Cut Grade to an “Excellent<\/strong>” Cut Grade Below…<\/p>\n

    \n\"Compare<\/p>\n

    Eye Opener, isn’t it?<\/h2>\n

    \nThat’s a Noticeable Visual Difference<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

    \nThe Excellent Diamond (Which is an SI2, G, Excellent Cut Diamond HERE<\/a>) looks like a Million Bucks!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It BLINGS!<\/h2>\n

    \nIt makes the “Good<\/strong>” Diamond look Mediocre<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

    \nPersonally, I would Never Purchase a Good Cut<\/strong>, no matter what the Price. <\/p>\n

    Good is NOT Good Enough!<\/h2>\n

    \nI would Shoot for “Excellent<\/strong>” 100% of the time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \n\"GIA<\/a><\/p>\n

    Now That’s Excellent!<\/h2>\n

    \nTriple Excellent Diamonds<\/strong> (Like These Sold on James Allen<\/a>) are the Cream of the Crop<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

    They ROCK!<\/h2>\n

    \nBecause Diamond Sparkle is Absolutely Related<\/strong> to How Great the Diamond is Cut<\/strong>. The Better the Cut, the Better the Dance of Light<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \nNot only will an Excellent Cut<\/strong> make the Diamond Sparkle like a Thousand Stars in the Sky<\/strong>, but it will also make it Appear Bigger<\/strong> and Whiter <\/strong>as well.<\/p>\n

    \nCheck Out Some Excellent Cut Diamonds HERE!<\/a><\/p>\n

    \nThat way, when Someone Asks you:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    “Why is your Diamond so Bright?”<\/h2>\n

    \n(Which they will with all that Sparkle<\/strong>)…<\/p>\n

    \nYou’ll be able to Smile really Big and Say:<\/p>\n

    “Because It’s Excellent!”<\/h2>\n

    \nAnd that my Friend<\/strong>, is Really, Really, Really GOOD!<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    \nCheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
