how does this IS and ASET look?

[chitowngal]

hi everyone!

i''m considering another diamond with whiteflash, and received the ASET and IS.

i''m not quite sure how to judge the ASET. to me, the IS looks good, but the arrows look fatter than other diamonds i''ve considered. how would this affect light performance?

thanks!!

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me or the image is contorted, but the arrows on the left side of the ASET image look shorter than those on the right. It's funny because on the IS image the problem doesn't exist, in any rotation of the image.

CG, the fatter arrows aren't a problem and can be a matter of taste - no worries. Here is some info which might help.

The IS and ASET look fine, I would check carefully that this diamond is eyeclean to your standards. Do you have the proportions please?

Possible the stone is slightly tilted or it is the lighting.

Your eyes are fine rc. The diamond was slightly tilted in the ASET image. One of the hardest things about diamond photography is getting the table on a 6mm or so object perfectly level with the lens of the camera, inside a reflector tool.

Edited to add: Lady Lorelei beat me by 15 seconds. Curse my old married bones.
