ASET question

luckystar112 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,797 Last Post: 11/16/2009 Member Since: 1/8/2007	I'm looking at a diamond's ASET right now and there is a LOT of green. It is my understanding that green is bad, correct? Or is that not necessarily true? The IS image is beautiful. I wish I dared to post the diamond, but I'm seriously considering it and I'm afraid of the lurkers stealing it from me! So, I think I'm going to hold off on posting it until it is put on hold. I will give you a hint on the shape though...in case that should be taken into consideration. Um...hmmm...."The fact is that my ex is a loser." LOL. I'm so paranoid. I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say. haha

"Um...hmmm....'The fact is that my ex is a loser.' .....OR do you need to rearrange (your life)... btw...greens OK, moderated by red, I think, with red still desired in a greater preponderance.

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	Is good. Only I didn't get it right away. Coulda been the wine.... LOL at Wink! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

It will gather more of its light from windows So let's say you're wearing the diamond in a pendant. The ceiling and the windows will be reversed from a lighting perspective. Lots of green in say a high crown angle cushion should work very very well in a pendant in this case.

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,312 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	I'm still learning how to read the ASET pictures; You usually want lots of red - light return, followed by green Blue is the light blocked (equivalent to IScope's black areas) Black is the light leakage (equivalent to IScope's white areas) Oh, I understood the hints right away. Even without seeing the pics, I know the stone will be a beauty.

I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say. haha The shape should definitely be taken into consideration. In a well-cut round brilliant, you hardly have any greens, but that does not mean that green is bad. In a princess for example, you will see a lot more green, but very often this is very close to the red area. Just by slightly tilting the stone in the ASET, these greens will pop to red. I believe that this will probably be the same in an X-factor. However, you do need a reasonable level of reds, so not green only. Live long, Paul Slegers Infinity Diamonds www.CraftedByInfinity.com

Lots of green in say a high crown angle cushion should work very very well in a pendant in this case. Not really - I find shallow rounds that have more blue and red ASET lighting work much better in pendants and earrings. In such a case with a lot of green you get large bright patches and large ugly dark zones because there is only a little light that can get to the stone from above - and almost none from below and little from the sides.
