I denied the last diamond because you all were helpful and said that the ASET was crap, I read up more on ASETs and HCA.

I had to go up in price, but didn't break the bank on it.

Specs

1.24 Carat
Color J
Strong Blue
Triple Excellent GIA
0.9 HCA
SI1

$4,700

I have been assured it is eye-clean.

Here is the ASET along with the actual picture.

I think the ASET looks great, but I want to make sure with you all.

Link to old thread if interested... [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/asets-idealscope-picture-help.215309/..']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/asets-idealscope-picture-help.215309/....[/URL].


Thank you very much.
 
Good find :)
Check what their definition of eye clean is and make sure it aligns with yours (can you see the inclusion from the side etc.)
 
In case you haven't already, be sure to double check on the strong fluorescence. You want to make sure that the fluorescence does not create an oily, milky, or hazy look to the diamond or otherwise negatively impacts the diamond’s appearance.

Also, make sure you and your intended are OK with the appearance of strong fluorescence when it is activated in the sun or under UV lights....in doing my own research, I found it seems to be a polarizing feature for many diamond buyers (many like it and others avoid diamonds with it). If you ever plan to upgrade the diamond, this is something to consider.

Also, I would double check the types of inclusions on the plot. Some inclusions, like feathers, can cause durability issues depending on severity and placement.

You might also find this recent checklist from D. and the responses from PS experts helpful:

I think you might notice that inclusion in the center of the table under certain conditions.
 
The ASET is fine, but I would not be okay with a black inclusion in the center of the stone.

This is good advice on the fluoro . Here's a link to an overview that will help you determine whether a fluorescent diamond is right for you.
