All looks quite good actually, after you adjust for the tilt of the stones when the image is taken. I prefer #2.

 

[Lorelei]

Image 2 is the best one. Diamond 3 has long lower girdle facets which I really like in a diamond so that stone could be in the running but 2 is probably the one to go for.

Check that they aren''t being held for you, as you have requested IS images it normally follows the diamonds are put on hold for that customer, call and ask.

thanks i will. just thinking based on cut analyzer.

the .77 diamond Total Visual Performance 1.9 - Excellent
the .75 bluenile Total Visual Performance 1.0 - Excellent

wouldn't this matter?

doesn't this mean 1.0 is better than the 1.9?

 

[stone-cold11]

You can ask JA for another IS for the 0.77c. Probably need to pay a small fee for it. It is still much cheaper compared to the others.

No, HCA is only a rejection tool. Below 2 is usually good but most people prefer scores between 1-2. IF IS images are available, up to score of 3 can also be good depending on the other parameters.

 

[staci]

honestly i really like the .77 from JA

round √
Ideal √
H color √
SI1 clarity √
Depth: 62.1%
Table: 55.0%----- Total Visual Performance 1.9 - Excellent
Girdle: Thin to slightly thick----- this is ok right?
Culet: None √
Fluorescence: None ---- this is ok right?
Price is with in my original budget which 2,200usd √

i just really hope they ll give me an idealscope image of this one
and wish it will turn out great and more than ok

No, HCA is only a rejection tool. Below 2 is usually good but most people prefer scores between 1-2. IF IS images are available, up to score of 3 can also be good depending on the other parameters.

Ditto, with 3 HCA scorers the best are normally diamonds which have top symmetry.

3 HCA scorers? top symmetry? sorry didnt understand this one.
im getting confused again.

i need to refresh my mind. what should i consider first?
4c''s are given already and the price.
i wont based on HCA alone.
i cant buy from bluenile cos they dont give IS image
i cant get any IS image now from JA.
my choices and time are now limited.
i really wish i could fin this soon.
thanks again for the time ur spending with me.
sorry if im being hard and slow to u guys

 

[Lorelei]

Just a remark, some diamonds which score between 2 and 3 can be worth consideration assuming they have top symmetry, not applicable in your case, just a general comment as SC brought it up.

 

[stone-cold11]

Just check with JA again on the IS image. I am not quite sure if that 3 image limit is because they put 3 stones on hold for you already, and they need to limit the numbers of stones being takn out of circulation just for consideration, or because of the cost involved. If it is because of the 3 stones on-hold, ask to replace the stone you least likely to consider. If it is the cost involved, offer to pay for another image to be taken, as I said before, this stone is much cheaper than the others so it is still worth the trouble.

 

[staci]

thanks again SC and Lorelie
anyways, these are the stones im looking at right now, im deleting the others from my list to refresh my list
Bluenile
jamesallen

ill try to ask again for the images from JA for that stone
and ask BN if it is eyeclean and no inclusion.
thanks again.

 

[staci]

here's the Idealscope image of the diamond from JA.
pls help me analyze and understand how to look at the image.
and what do u think of this diamond ? is this sparking and brilliant?
ty.

 

[stone-cold11]

IS looks good to me, just a small area of leakage at the 3 o''clock, should not be significant.

Its a good image, there can be seen a small area of leakage at 3 o''clock yes, probably not visible to the naked eye in reality, so could be a candidate Staci.

 

[staci]

so could u say with this image that this diamonds is sparkling and brilliant?
what are the things u could see in a idealscope image?
should i get it or not?

If you look at the image Staci, you can see a small pale area around 3 o'clock which is probably a little area of leakage - however the leakage appears to be minimal and might not affect the overall beauty and performance of the diamond, and in fact might not be visible to the naked eye, but check with one of JA's gemologists as to how the stone looks. We can't tell you to get any particular diamond as the choice has to be yours, but suffice to say it is a good IS image and the diamond looks to be definitely worth further consideration. Check it is eyeclean and that the cloud isn't impacting brilliance also by asking JA to check these for you.

they said before that the leakage can be cover by the prongs. which i think is not a problem to me.
i guess i just have to ask them for the brilliance of the diamond and if its eyeclean.
and what is the black red and white color of the image

Black is contrast, red is light return and white is light leakage. You will want a lot of red for good light return, some contrast and minimum white for good scintillation

Black is contrast, red is light return and white is light leakage.

so does it mean it has perfect light return and few leakage and dark contrast are ok?

i see alot of red, a few white and some solid black colors
