looks good.
Ask why the Symmetry is good and which facets it is and if its eye visible.
l/w difference is borderline at that size for me.

 

[strmrdr]

looking over the data id say overall its 8.5 out of 10.

 

[strmrdr]

after viewing the ASET gem file image id drop that 1 point to a 7.5

 

[strmrdr]

here is the image...

 

[strmrdr]

here is what it should look like for that type...
This one is a 9.5 out of 10.

Thanks for the helpful comments strmrdr. I''ve now learned how to track the ASET image down on the GOG site. I was not expecting such appealing pics, given the G symmetry and a table a bit larger than I was looking for. Just goes to show that you cannot say much on numbers alone without a few images.

Any opinions on this 1.06 F VS1?
Crown: 14.5%
Table: 62%
Depth: 69%
Polish: VG
Symmetry: VG
Culet: None
Fluor: None

Thanks.

miscut culet facet is leaving a dark area in a bad spot.
discuss with the vendor how eye visible it is.
Its shown as a dark triangle in the center on both the pic and the aset.

 

[emmell]

I noticed that on the 1st image and the ASET. Yet it doesn't show on the IS image. I suspected it might be tilt. Is there a reason it might not be apparent on the IS image?

And how does the GOG image in my first post "POP" so much more than the image of the second stone?

different lighting, it isnt tilted enough in the aset to make it just tilt and if the IS image wasnt taken with too shallow a dof it would show up more also.

whats the lenth and width?
the patterns look kicken.

The L/W on that one was 3.70 X 3.63. Here is another one that I decided against but thought might provoke some discussion. Can anyone help me out with why the idealscope image does not seem to portray the side of the pavillion the seems off? Exposure times? Here is the other relevant info. Thanks for the input.

wow.....why did you decide against that one!? of any of them, i think that one has the best uniformed stepped look. talk about mile deep!

 

[emmell]

I agree that it does look very nice. But I couldn''t get over the symmetry issue with the pattern. Here is another image.

 

[emmell]

And for good measure...

Liek Belle, I like the last one too. It has the rippling pool effect. I hope storm comes back to comment on it so that I can learn more about asscher cut stones.

 

[belle]

okay, i do see what you are talking about now ( i think! )
is it the very, very center?

 

[emmell]

Well, I was referring to the facets on the pavillion shown on the bottom in the ring pic and the left in the tweezer pic.

i guess i don''t know what you are talking about!

i''m trying to correlate anything that seems ''off'' in the pics with the idealscope and aset and there is none. since the ring pic and the tweezer pic seem to be oriented the same way, if there was something ''off'' in the pavillion, it would present itself the same in both pics. to me, the aset and is are confirming this.
can you circle what you are referring to?

 

[chrono]

I tried and tried but I don''t see anything off about the symmetry in both life pictures. I went back to the ASET and IS and still don''t see anything. Can you circle or point it out specifically on your picture?

 

[emmell]

OK, here we go.... Sorry if this was unclear and thanks for your opinions.

 

[belle]

i know you want someone to come in and give you a definitve answer and to validate what you are seeing but i still don''t see any symmetry issues. and again, the aset and is are the best for weeding those out. i still think this is the best step pattern you have posted so far. instead of dismissing it out of hand, why don''t you discuss your concerns with someone that can actually SEE the diamond in person? it would be a shame to let a good asscher go because of a static picture of something that may not correlate to real life conditions.

Dude, the stone is going to be

This big. TELL me you''re going to see symmetry problems that other people can''t pick out in 300x enlargements?

Maybe it''s a "mind clean" issue ... you "know" there''s a "problem" & can''t get over it once you''ve "discovered" it ... but SERIOUSLY -- you are not going to be looking at this stone through a loupe more than, maybe five times your whole life -- and no one other than JEWELERS will either.

Time to get some perspective maybe. Devil''s Advocate!
