I''ve also attached the Ideal Scope image. I''m not an expert at reading the image but it does seem to have some leakage around the outer perimeters - is that an issue?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Looks good.

The leakage at the edge is normal, no problem. It is control leakage to enhance the contrast/scintillation of the stone.

Looks great. What is the price?

Hi cellfish

Its a good image, looks like it is slightly tilted but still could be an excellent diamond. The leakage is what is known as controlled intentional leakage, these leakage points enhance the contrast and scintillation of the diamond.
