Interpreting Firescope and H&A images

avalpert Rough Rock Total Posts: 51 Last Post: 6/29/2005 Member Since: 6/9/2005	The firescope image looks great to me but the H&A images seem off. I want some people more experienced in vieing these images to tell me if i am wrong, I think I can see inclusions on the hearts image I couldn't see in the friescope or magnified diamond image, and the arrows look off for some reason.

If the diamond has been promised as 'eye clean' be sure you and the vendor have the same definition - and verify that it matches that definition on Wednesday. The reason the arrows are off in the magnified photo is that the diamond was not quite level. That's a photo thing - nothing to worry about. The patterning is good. Tips? Since this is a fine-make diamond I would suggest you ask to view it in several different lighting conditions. Based on these images it should be good throughout.
