I finally got the idealscope images for the diamonds I was talking about in this thread. Opinions on these stones would be greatly appreciated.
From the e-mail I got form james allen, they said "Based upon the Idealscope images all three diamonds have Ideal to very good symmetry ratings. 1260786 and 1275226 would receive the higher rating of Ideal as indicated by their perfectly formed arrows. The table are aligned within the center of the diamonds and not of the eight arrows surrounding it are broken or misshapen. These diamonds all have exceptional light performance, with little to no light leakage throughout. The diamonds all have a uniformed amount of white around the girdles, offering contrast and aiding in fiery flashes.
I had my graduate gemologist review these diamonds and she agreed that all three diamonds have exceptional quality cuts. She did not feel that 1275966 was worth the premium price for the largest carat weight. She said it is priced higher for a lower clarity grade than the other two diamonds. The diamond is very hazy and almost appears dirty. This is from the numerous twining wisps throughout the face of the diamond.
1260786, the 1.20 H SI1 is the least expensive of the diamonds as well as the best quality. The clarity is based on a colorless crystal located near the girdle and is not eye-visible. If the inclusion bothers you it can be easily hidden by a prong once set into the ring. The diamond has a very nice appearance and is extremely brilliant. She recommends this diamond for the savings.
1275226, 1.38 H SI1 is the most expensive of the three diamonds. However it does appear to be the biggest diamond of the three. The diamond does contain carbon crystals throughout the face, but this will not be detectable without magnification. If you are looking for size and brilliance this is the diamond for you."
