Here is the ASET Image for this Pear. I have no idea if this is good or bad. What am I looking for in the photo? All Comments (about the diamond) are appriceated.

Personally I would prefer to see more red, the ASET shows the stone is not making the most efficient use of available light by reflecting it back to the eye. However ASET in fancy shapes do not normally show as much red as with rounds, it looks like an attractive pear but it doesn't have the best optics - it would probably do fine in bright lighting but lose steam somewhat in less bright conditions.

This is an excellent ASET tutorial as is this one.
