Your welcome.I think you are right! And I will . Thank you for all your help and putting up with all this.
Your welcome.
This stuff is fun for me and takes my mind off being sick lol
Thank you! But in truth it is 35/40.8 AND almost 63% depth. So 2 strikes! Yet it performs great in most lighting. I also see people looking at it a lot and I don’t think they are because they think it’s unattractive. I think the bright white (colorless) really helps. I am eager for my recuts by Brian Gavin to come back of my inherited stones to see the differences.@headlight is that your ring in your profile picture? Very pretty!
As mentioned earlier, vendors take the IS/ASET images under all different conditions. This confuses alot of prosumers, too. Combine that with different opinions people have, it can be overwhelming.Yes, I have read somewhere that you have been battling the flu. Hope you get well soon, Karl_K!
The only reason I got confused (doubted the stone) is because I have gotten different opinions on it from different people. Here and outside. I really thought that reading Ideal Scope on the top of seeing dimensions and a rather clear pic would bring more unifying opinions. Especially, when one (me) does not know any better.

What is a twisted pavilion? Thank you!With all the twisted pavilion stones on the market today I question buying any stone online without images.

I personally prefer 35/40.8 combo to a 35/40.6 IRL. Light return may be more likely to be stronger in 35/40.6 but I do like the effect of a slightly steeper pavilion. However there is a cliff where much beyond this the performance gets rapidly affected. As such 35/40.8 is not an issue, it's the rounding and imprecise cutting. With a IS, there is NO disadvantage to 35/40.8.

I agree for the most part and have never done so. But I'd NEVER order a diamond without a return policy, and I only buy from reliable vendors.

Yay, @daisygrl !!! It looks beautiful. I hope you are enjoying your new ring!
FWIW, I used to have 35/40.8 WF ACA earrings I ended up selling to my mom. They were fireballs! I remember one reason she bought them and we didn't trade them back was because we thought the stones were so exceptionally sparkly that she wanted those specific ones! IMO, I don't think you've got a thing to worry about in that regard.
Can you describe what the effect of a slightly steeper pavilion looks like? Thank you!
@Siamese Kitty , I am! Funny you mentioned the "fireballs". I have watched a few videos on youtube about how super ideal cut diamonds should sparkle in the direct sunlight, so I did the test myself today with my ring. It literally looked like the ring was on fire. I have never seen anything like it (mind you, I used to have a ring from Tiffany and while that one sparkled, it did not fire up like this one.) Wish I could post a video of it!
