I ve asked them already, they told me that Photographer try to shoot many times...but cannot find the true hearts..
as they said that the equipment was not good enough for taking a photo and the light was not proper..

IS IT POSSIBLE??? SHOULD I ASK FOR MORE PIC..??

Yeah, I would say you are way over paying I'm not sure why you are going with on IF it is kinda over kill if you go with a high vs you will not see any visible inclusions, even if you went with a VS2 you probably wouldn't.

Then probably because it is not a H&A.

GIA do not grade if a stone is H&A, it just notes down what is inscribed on the girdle, can be anything, can mean nothing.

Haha yeah, pretty much. Not much a photographer can do in terms of finding a perfect hearts pattern that doesn't exist, which really looks to be the case here, so don't bother w/ more pics.

1. If you like the way the stone looks and performs in-person, then you like the stone - H&A or not.
2. If you are paying a premium for a H&A then the stone should show hearts and arrows to warrant that premium, and this one does not.

Actually i just worried so much about the heart image that they lately have been sent to me!!!

Until i saw it by my own eyes,i therefore bought it !!! Because the true heart image was discovered in every time (so easily and Chrystal clear from many point of view ) via H&A viewer..

The next project ... Find the budget for the ring !!!
