Help with interpreting image of a princess diamond

babadi · Oct 8, 2018

Hi gang, I've been corresponding with one of the trusted vendors here and they sent me a stone with the attached image. I believe it's an ASET image, but it looks different from many of the ones I've seen with more white around the outside. My extremely limited understanding is that this is a bad thing. But this is a vendor that's very well liked around here and they were extremely positive about this stone, so I wanted to seek more informed counsel -- is the stone bad, is the image bad, or am I just failing at reading it?

It’s not good, pass on it

All that white you see is light leakage. This one is a pass for me

It looks like a computer generated ASET? Ask them how they got the image...is it computer generated or an actual image of the stone?

Do you have any other pictures of the stone? A video would be really helpful.

Thanks gang for the validation on the previous image. I did receive the attached "real" ASET, which doesn't look as white. There's an idealscope and a plain photo as well. Do these move the needle for you guys? I also have a video here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cYvrIYzZyCCta1lCN3leUJku905NctW2
