Hi all,

I've been lurking and learning for a while and trying to find a good stone for my girlfriend. I love the value of MMD and have really enjoyed reading a lot of the threads in here

I bough this 2.09ct F VVS2 HCA 1.4 from rarecarat for what I think is a decent price. The IGI cert lists as hearts and arrows.

They don't have ASET or Ideal Scope images for lab stones so I picked up the starter scopes to see what I got.

I'm no pro at reading these, but they look decent to me. Thoughts?

Also attached a little video of me struggling to get the camera to focus on the diamond...

Woops, looks like video didn't attach, no real loss
 
Just double checking that your GF is ok with man made diamonds? The 41 pavillion is a potential issue, but overall it looks pretty good. Hard to tell whether the images have overly strong backlighting or if there's leakage.

Yes, we both are ok with MMD for a variety of reasons!

I used a tablet with white screen for the backlighting, wasn't paying too much attention to the brightness. It might have been a bit high. I'll play around with it today and try to get some better images
 
I just took these, turned the backlighting down about 50% from where it was. I didn't have it too high to begin with, after checking.

I see what you mean with the lighter red or pink in the center.
