The idealscope and the mangnified photo don't match. they are not of the same diamond. 100%.
The IS image belongs to a different diamond. The magnified photo looks right.

Thank you SO MUCH! I called them and they are going to do another IdealScope on the diamond. Wow, and whew! So glad this was noticed!

Valeria, I did the HCA and it scored 2.7. It falls on the AGS chart as Ideal for its proportions. I'm not sure if the AGS Ideal proportions or the HCA grade would be better to go off of to determine good table / crown angle / paviliion angle proportions for fiery performance.

I'm not sure if the AGS Ideal proportions or the HCA grade would be better ... for fiery performance.

No idea if AGS makes any note of particularly 'fiery' proportions. The HCA identifies a 'Fiery Ideal Cut' species - talked about as 'FIC' - once upon a time around here ...

These days, the revival old brillaint styles - rounds & cusions, have the upper hand for 'fire'. [no idea if a 5K D-F/SI might be around - there are never many ... ].

While waiting for the correct IdealScope image to be taken and sent, I found an even better diamond! I posted about it here, asking for opinions:
