Help Review Two Ideal-Scope Images

[Brad Hoem]

How do these two Ideal-Scope images look? I also attached an ASET and Picture that was already reviewed in another forum ("Diamond Painting").

Hi Brad,

This looks like a nice stone. It has very good light performance from the ASET scope image you’ve posted above.

It doesn’t have hearts and arrows optical symmetry based on the hearts scope image you’ve provided. The hearts are not really visible. This is most likely due to a lower percentage LGF percentage on the stone. It says 75% on the GIA Lab report but these numbers are numbered up in 5% increments ie. 75% 80% etc. There’s also a variance on the 6 o’clock heart as compared to the other hearts. Overall it’s a nice stone with some defines in optical symmetry.

Good Luck.

Well, the first image is the ASET, the other two are hearts and arrows images. The stone comes out with a .9 HCA score, which you want to reject stones over 2. This one is under two. Most PSers like smaller tables and higher crowns, but this one scores okay. I think the ASET looks a bit strange, maybe cuz it's a 60/60 type stone, maybe something else.

BUT... is there a cultural reason for the IF and high color? Your options will increase (including size) and price can decrease by keeping CUT first priority, and tweaking the other Cs a little.

ASET looks good, painted slightly but shouldn't affect appearance. Depends on the price.

Edit: just realised this is the same stone in the other thread

I'd prefer something like this with the same color, size and clarity (ignoring budget):

Nothing to add on cut.

Would certainly consider D/E VS1 equally perfect.

Edited to add,

Not that there are many such objects around ! - a few correct H&A sans 'paint' WWW

ctd.

Perhaps an interesting comparison with the previous: WWW - I can see that the girdle is even, impossible to tell how close this object is to the H&A standard, fine as the cut obviously is.
