Hello all,
Since this is my first post, I want to first thank the community for the great information that I have been able to soak up for the past few months from this forum. Hopefully all the info has made me a more informed consumer.
I (along with the help of a friend) have been searching for a princess cut diamond for an engagement ring for the past few months. I think I have a pretty good candidate currently, but have a couple of concerns that I hope to get some opinion on.
Here is the diamond information:
Shape: Princess
Carat: 1.32
Color: E
Clarity: VS1
Depth %: 71
Table %: 67
Crown %: 12
Girdle: M
Measurements: 6.18-5.98X4.27
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Culet: None
Fluorescence: None
My concern is on the ASET scan of the diamond. As you can tell from the ASET scan, there is leakage in the center of the table. I have been told that it should not be too much of an issue because the leakage is only noticed when magnified. I just want to see what others think. I have seen a lot of ideal scope pictures, and most princess cuts do have some leakage in the center, just perhaps not this much.
Another concern that I have is the almost "inverted" light return nature of the diamond. Most ASET and ideal scope scans that I have seen tend to have relatively strong light return on and around the "rays" that trace from the center to the corners. But as noted on the ASET scan, the "rays" going from the center to the corners seems to be weaker light return while the area between the rays tend to have strong return. Is this an issue?
I''ll thank all in advance for any and all feedback!
Thanks!
