Hello Pricescopers!
I wanted to post about a disease I seem to have come down with over the past few years, I can't get step cut's out of my head! I just traded in several stones and upgraded to a larger H color VVs2 2.36 Ct Asscher and would be curious to see what folks on here think of it.
Originally I went to look at an F color vs2 2.49 Asscher with good specs, and also a G color 2.51 ct VVS2. The H color however, really outshone the G and F colors with it's cut. The steps flashed all the way across, middle really lit up, and the edge to edge light return just looked far and away better.
Normally I'm a bit color sensitive and was trading in smaller D E and F colored stones, but this H really spoke to me. I have seen a lot of Asscher threads recently, and have been watching the Good old Gold videos until my eyes cross, and I think this stone looks pretty good given how Asschers (generic) need to be seen in person and not (only) judged on specs.
I'll follow up and post my somewhat terrible pics next, though I have to say it is indeed very difficult to capture the stone in photos, I did my best.
GIA report # 1182475944 if you want to look at that as well.
