Does this ideascope show ok leakage?

[sheckrock]

too much? too little? just right?

Also, how come one side shows more leakage than the other? Is this bad?

What's the combo?
34.9-35 crown with 40.8-40.9 pavilion?

If you do a little search, I think you can find another deal.
This diamond sounds expensive (I found it on Whiteflash), and 35C-40.9P is not "the best" diamond you can find.

This one looks like a better deal.
Almost same price but better proportions, better color and better spread.
So...

It looks pretty much the same on both sides to me.... Certainly not outside of normalcy. Despite the comments about the cut not being quite perfect, the ideal scope image looks pretty nice to me. On paper, it is a little weaker than the other stone mentioned, but it would probably still look very nice.

How would I know that the dirtcheap diamond even has these parameters?

Crown Angle : 34.0°
Crown %: 15.4
Pavillion Angle : 40.7°
Pavillion %: 42.4.

the GIA cert doesn't show those parameters, while the WF diamond has an AGS cert with those parameter on it.


Thanks,

[sheckrock]

couldn't those measurements just be from the sarin machine at dirtcheap?

 

[quaeritur]

Yes, those could be. But the measurements on the AGS cert are just from the Sarin machine at AGS... Or, DCD could have obtained the measurements from GIA. If you are in doubt, ask DCD to re-run the Sarin for you. There may be some variation, but it should be fairly close. If it's not, you're under no obligation to buy.
