Pictures? And who is calling it "ideal"? Because GIA does not give "ideal" ratings...

If you are buying a fancy shape, such as a princess, you NEED an ASET image or at least an idealscope image to determine light reflective properties (or rated AGS0).

The information you have for this diamond doesn''t tell you very much, except you are going overkill on the clarity for such a small diamond. There''s no point getting a diamond where you can only see inclusions under a microscope, but is completely dull and doesn''t sparkle at all.

It doesn'' t neccessarily mean this is true of your diamond...just we have no idea.

Here''s some you may want to look at:
