Sorry I don't have Idealscope or ASET images... these are from my jeweler's database. We had purchased a diamond that scored a 4 on the HCA scale and some of you mentioned that was a "steep/deep" diamond. I'm getting an exchange and the jeweler is going to bring some other diamonds in. I just wanted to show him the ones I'm looking at in the database. I really appreciate all your help. Thanks in advance!

I'd go with #3. 1 and 2 have poor angles (especially the shallow crown angles). Have you seen any images or videos of these diamonds?

Yes, there is a video of #3 on his website. I just played around on the website and found these images of this diamond:

OMG I"m sorry I didn't know they'd end up so big!!!

Hmm, not sure what is going on with the IS...where is the 1 o'clock arrow shaft?

Hmm yea that's odd.... I can ask the jeweler about this one though. Thanks!

I agree that #3 is the best of the 3. Looks like there's something weird going on with one of the arrows, but the IS otherwise looks good and the angles are good as well.

Going by the specs #3 is your best bet. #1 and #2..

#3 has one arrow that is likely on a slight different plane that the others, so it does not light up at the same rotational angle. Not the greatest precision out there, but it may not be visible in everyday life.

Other options, assuming budget of $5k. JA will generally provide IS, if available, for up to 3 stones/email.
