Advice on this purchase please?

Hi All,

I purchased this below diamond online and took some pictures of the ideal scope using my cell phone, it looks pretty good to me but this is my first time purchasing a diamond. This forum has been GREAT in helping me learn about how to pick a diamond but it would be great if I could get some feedback on how this looks to you guys. This is for an engagement ring

Thank you so much! It's a little difficult comparing my ideal scope pictures using my iPhone versus ones that are posted online. Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated!

As expected based on the IS and proportions.
Equally impressed with your photography.

Looks great! Have you run the HCA on it just to double check?

Yes when I was buying from James Allen, I looked at the proportions and hoped for the best. They didn't have an IS image for it so I had to wait for it to come to me and I'm glad it turned out to be good. Just wanted to confirm what I was seeing. Thank you!

Thank you! Honestly it is kind of tricky to use my iPhone to take IS pictures. I focused on looking straight down and most of the pictures came out nice. They differ a little bit from the IS images I see on websites, that's wanted to get a second opinion. Appreciate your feedback!

I did! I think it was a 1.2, I ran it before I placed the order.

You did good kid, you did good!

Very nice! I believe you should be able to ask James Allen for the official IdealScope image as well because I contacted them last night and they said once my order moves into production I can contact and get the images. I'm hoping mine looks like yours because the proportions are pretty similar (58/34.5/40.8/61.3) and HCA score was similar (1.3). Yours looks amazing

Thanks! I did request an ideal scope from them before it got shipped to me but because of COVID, their labs were closed and weren't able to take an IS picture. I figured I can always send it back if I don't like the way it looks in my IS so I had them send it to me without reviewing the image.

Glad mine has a good IS image, would've been a pain to send it back and wait for another one. Best of luck with yours!
