This will be my largest stone, I have a 2.5 in standard 6 claw prong setting. I wanted this one in white gold to be a little different so I’m going with cathedral set, but jewler making it 6 prong, not like the 4 shown in pic. I don’t have any great image of the diamond, but I got a great deal on it! What do you think? Here is a screen shot of the video, not quite centered for face up view and a video.

The diamond is a great size, color, and clarity, but isn't as well cut as we like to see. It's also a 60/60 style, which means it will favor brightness over fire. I personally prefer a more balanced stone. If you're still within the return period, I would exchange for a better one.

Yea, I knew she table size was a bit in the high side. My 2.5 is triple x hearts and arrows so I’m not sure how this will compare. I won’t see it in person until about a month. But then I do have a 30 day return window.

I don't think this is a good choice or cut. The overall aesthetics aren't particularly pleasing (at least to my eye).

I will have a 30 day return window. I’m hoping the ideal crown and pavilion angles will help.

Without being overly confident, I don't think it will because the "ideal" numbers for crown and pav is different for 60/60 veruss traditionally ideal cut stones. Obviously its up to you, but this isn't one I would recommend because I don't think it's a good deal.

Here is on that is slightly larger with ideal cut, vs2, color 59% table and 60.6 depth. Here are the Aset images, think it’s a better choice? CB2E99F6-6C14-4320-96DD-CB6DA96A2B40.png E7E2CF5B-4AA4-43DE-B884-77F581BD0731.jpeg 9CC014E9-BEBC-4D3C-93D3-2CAEA882F437.png

What do you think about his one? 1.3 on HCA, hearts and arrows ideal cut. D469DB11-3A6C-460A-95A3-9CC7D09AA698.png 2BF2EB66-9187-4ACB-BFDF-D625CB1E805F.png E6B7C9B2-7EB5-4BFE-9FB4-A41B21A8961F.png

I like it a lot better than the previous one. The Hearts & Arrows images look good. Can you ask them for an ASET image? The one you posted is an arrows image, not ASET.

If I can’t get the aset imagine, think I should still switch? Still amazing deal and only a few hundred more.

Yes, I'd switch if it were me. And it's a lot bigger too.

I got it in and they messed up and did round prongs, I’m happy with the stone, but sending back to get the claw prongs. DB084078-646E-4DBA-85C5-21F372B89592.png 80ACB3CB-DBAA-4E82-808A-D2249D82C11B.jpeg

It looks lovely even with the round prongs! How do you like the diamond?

I’m happy with it, I haven’t see in the best lighting yet to see the fire and brilliance.
