Hey,

Just need some help in reviewing the below ASET images.

I think the first one would be preference, do you think any are good?

Hi Hawks,
The top stone is definitely the best as far as light return is concerned, but it's still quite green (light reflected from low angle side light).

I think I would want a princess with at least 75-80% red in the ASET

Here are some comparison aset images for you:

Here are some princesses with really nice ASETs:

BUT!!!!
Keep in mind that the ASET isn't the whole story. You want to make sure that the idealscope (IS) image (the red one) is all red and few or no sections of grey. Here's a stone with a pretty aset but a minor amount of light leakage (grey facets on the IS image) http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut-loose-diamond-3036240.htm
