That is image is somewhat distorted.
The stone is badly tilted by the looks of it.
If not there is something off in the cut.
Id ask for a new IS image and a regular picture of the diamond.

Im fairly sure its the image and not the stone.
That is from WF expert selection section and Brian wouldnt let a total dog in there.
That said there is a huge variation in how assher diamonds look and you need better pictures to decide if its the right one for you.

I fail to see anything "canine" about this piece! Actually, it's a pitty that pictures are not available of these fancies - this one surely deserves attention

Many Iscope pics are WF seem to ahve been taken with strong light - so they appear "pink", like this one - so I would not comment much about what this pic shows. Also, the reports fail to confirm any lack of symmetry. As far as I know, static pictures understate the briliance of step cuts, only there are not too many ways to show this online (the gem Adviser and video clips are such tools).

The good thing? It seems straightforward to get pictures from WF, by all means. I would be happy to see this one.

Very good light return for a stepcut stone.

Nothing really "out of tilt". The stone is just in the "good" symmetry category rather than "very good" or "excellent". This is the norm with most stepcuts, with a minority grading out very good or excellent on symmetry.

Looks like a pleasing stone. There would be some debate among purists as to whether it has enough of the classic Asscher features to be considered an Asscher versus a square emerald cut, but the depth to table ratio is very satisfying and it has a decent crown height.

It does seem to be priced very reasonably.
