How would you rate is Princess Idealscope?

[RoyalFB]

I don''t know much other than dark red/black = good and white = bad.

But I have also heard that not enough white can be bad also... I would really appreciate and help I could get. I like this stone a lot, but I''m trying to get as much information as possible before I make the purchase.

You can not apply round standards to princess cuts. You will always have more white in a princess than in a well cut round,

If your eyes are happy with this stone then buy it, it looks to be a very good looking stone. An ASET would confirm that, but this should be a very nice stone.

P.S. I make the above statement about buy it assuming that the price etc are good. The appearance of the stone looks to be good from what you have given us.

I don''t know a lot about princesses, but it looks like a nice image to me. A little more white is very common in fancies.

Thanks for the feedback so far! Does anyone else have an opinion on this diamond. I am pretty sure I will buy it, but I would love for some of you experts to chime in

Wink is an expert so if he considers it might be a very nice looking diamond, that would give me confidence!! Also as he says, an ASET image would be very helpful, you could ask the vendor if he has one.
