Hi
I'm currently looking at buying an engagement ring and have gone the route of sourcing a diamond online as the local stores simply don't have the quality I'm after and souring through them it's clear the profit margins they make, I've read a ton of write ups on what to look for etc and so now I'm more paranoid than ever on buying one without seeing it...
I've found a diamond that was listed as "perfect" 100/100 on the seller's site and gia: D, EX EX EX, FL 0.5c and have since asked for ASET and Ideal Scope images, however I'm a little disappointed in the images provided, although they may hint to the quality of the diamond i do not have enough experience with this as so I hope that those of you here that deal with this on a more frequent basis can help guide me to inform if this is in fact a high quality cut diamond and worthy of a purchase.
I have since asked for better quality images (top dead centre/bottom centre), as the seller themselves even stated that the quality of the images was poor (which is strange to provide something you know is sub par when dealing with images where the soul purpose is to indicate quality) however.. i digress.. images below and I'll update the thread with further images when they arrive. It's clear that the images aren't quire TDC, however I hope that they indicate positive results in quality.
any feedback, advice is most welcome
