Asschers can only be judged in person in multiple lighting conditions.
That is the best way, sure, but for me I couldn’t find any jewelers who carried asschers, and so I bought mine blind from blue Nile without a photo or a video lol.
I kept it because it was gorgeous.
Just find a vendor that has a generous return policy. You may have to buy and send some back
I think you are the exception to the rule, ww lol
@kb1gra that will be fantastic. Girdle reflection, I'm going to google what this means
Looking around the forum, seems like a SQ emeralnd = asscher. The name shouldn't be concerning from this think
@oooShiny, my girlfriend is size 53 (she is petite).
I've got another recommendation from the dealer with a video. What do you think?

Link wouldn’t come up (error message) but I think this one would have possibilities.
I wish the video didnt cut off at the end the way it did. I want to see it go round and round.
You just don’t want it to black out in places.
@ Matthews1127
Thank you for your lovely post. extremely helpful. I agree with you, step cuts don't get enough credit
I am going through this now in detail. It's nearly midnight here, time for some coffee
I've uploaded the video of the diamond the dealer suggested I buy with the GIA Certificate. The dealer did suggest the F 1.2 was the best value and great cut. He is saying this E VV2 is even better but $700 USD additional
@ tyty333 uploaded video to youtube. Hopefully that works.

Is there a budget and preferred specs we are working to?
My concern is there is too much leakage.
An ASET will most certainly be necessary to show this stone’s performance.
It is my least fav of the 4 potential choices.
The video being a bit short is unfortunate but I think it looks pretty decent - not too much obstruction face on, which is good, and the faceting looks visually interesting to my eyes
It might window a bit when tilted/rotated? But that is not uncommon, from what I've seen.
