Hi there Mahek!

Its shallow, likely to show obstruction - this is where the stone visibly darkens when you look closely at the diamond as your body/ head blocks the light to it, see this video titled head obstruction to see this effect in action - lower right of the page.

The ASET and IS images will be very helpful, standing by for those....

Thanks for the images!

The Idealscope is showing obstruction from the dark areas and the image is hard to read, the ASET doesn't look as bad but the issues can still be seen, but really I think you could do better. Well done on the images though!!

Thanks Lorelei,

Diamonds look quite bigger and even with little light the sparkle is quite good. But i agree, when head move closer, it shows the head obstruction and make it darker. But will it look good in Ring?

Does this mean that the diamond will look darker and blackish when it has limited lighting around or dim light ambience? Or It will sparkle good as well.

You have got it with obstruction, so you know how to check for that, now some say with obstruction that you don't walk around with your hand up to your face, the question is if it bothers you that much - however this is a stone with potential issues with definite obstruction and probability of fish eye...It might look ok in a ring in some lights, in others it will likely ' lose power' if that makes sense. You can do better.

The angles suggest that the diamond will show obstruction as we know, also a probability of fish eye. Generally shallower stones are used in pendants and earrings as obstruction isn't an issue unlike with rings, also shallower proportions can give a bit of flash and brilliance, less in the way of fire. So you could find the diamond might look ok in bright lighting, you will get some scintillation and white flash brilliance, but it will go dead in lesser lights and not do much....

It could be this flash and bang is what is attracting you in the store lights, take it away from those and you will see the reality.

Will it look dead and dark in earrings and pendants too in the lesser light. If thts the case, where wud it sell?

Generally stones with obstruction issues can be better suited for earrings and pendants as they are not subject to the same viewing angles as rings so the diamond might be better set thus, however there still remains the question of the fish eye. Oh many diamonds will sell which aren't well cut or have issues, lots of buyers see a diamond they like in the store which might look nice in that lighting but as soon as they get home the diamonds don't do much....

Rather like buying a car, you can find some which look nice on the showroom floor and appeal to purchasers, and buyers don't pop the bonnet/ hood or if they do they don't know what they are looking at, yet once they drive the cars away the problems arise. Same sort of scenario.

Most of the light gathered by this diamond comes from the area occupied by the observer - even at several meters away.

oops
Note that I tilted the stone 5 degrees and even at up to 15 degrees - it aims the rays right back to the viewer - it can be bright from oblique angles, but not for an observer in conversation in a cafe

Hence, this diamond would look better in ring rather than pendant or earring. As former moves more in different angles than the latter ones. isn''t it?


PS How did you got the exact image of the stone in Diam Calc?

No - see the comments on HCA page after you run the data Mahek, this stone is actually too shallow for earrings and pendants and off the scale for rings

I am a genius - i entered the data you gave me in the post above

I could not do it with just those data. Can you give me some information on that, how can i use Diam calc with just those datas available.
