EC diamond opinions

[gemhunter917]

*Bump*

strmrdr, chrono any comments to knock this one?

 

[Gypsy]

Where is it now? Do they have an idealscope where it is now? It''s looking like it has potential from the photo, though. That''s a REALLY HUGE picture... so I''m not sure how visible that inclusion would be.

 

[chrono]

I must have missed this one. The pic looks good. As for the inclusion, the EC is so magnified that I have no idea if it would be eye clean. Based on the VS grading and the inclusion being white, it could well be clean from the top down. I think it is worth calling in.

 

[Hest88]

I agree. I doubt the inclusion would be really visible, and the picture looks lovely so far.

 

[gemhunter917]

Thanks for the input guys. I really appreciate it. Getting pretty nervous since this is the first one I''m having brought in. I''ll be back with the Sarin, Idealscope, ASET reports later.

 

[gemhunter917]

reg picture looks very good
IS looks great
ASET looks so-so too much green center but there also looks like there might have been an issue with how it was taken.
Have someone look at it with a handheld or desktop aset.

 

[Gypsy]

The Atest looked wonky. But I just ignored it. The IS is so lovely on it! Great crown height too.


Personally it looks like a winner to me. I''d put that puppy on hold at the least.

 

[gemhunter917]

Thanks for the analysis. Generally is there a correlation between Idealscope and ASET images? If one performs well then the other should confirm? I wasn't excited by the ASET image either. I did a search in the forums for other emerald cut ASET images and none of them looked quite like this one.
I'll see if I could have another one taken....

 

[kcoursolle]

I can''t say too much about EC cuts, but I wanted to add that a nice EC with a depth of 63% is uncommon and really great. You are getting really decent spread out of this stone for a fancy.

gemhunter,

it looks really pretty to me too.

is this from ERD? who took the ASET / Idealscope pictures for you? I''m looking at one from ERD and they seem be discouraging the Idealscope and ASET images, which I want. They say those instruments work best on rounds/princess cuts (i know) but i can see they have value for other shapes. i want them too. i''m waiting on a sarin report first, i guess.

i think yours looks really pretty!

Gemhunter,
I love this EC. I took one look at the magnified pics and said, "hmm...good".
Then I saw the ASET and went "hmm...quite nice".
Then I saw the IScope and went "wow"

All the Sarin stats are great too.

 

[gemhunter917]

Thanks Chrono! I was hoping you''d stop by and give your thoughts.

If you were nitpicking, would there be anything more you would want from the pictures and stats?

 

[chrono]

If I were nitpicking, I''d ask them to retake the ASET picture. I want to be sure that it is accurate. There''s a lot of green but it could just be the angle it was taken at and I want to be 100% sure.
