I Reserved My Diamond

[sonny55]

WOW! I just reserved my diamond! Thank you to everyone here at PS for helping me make a informed decision. I want to post the diamond here to make sure you all approve. Let me know your thoughts! The stone scored a 1.0 on the HAC.

The idealscope image shows no real leakage (that I can see).

The image of the stone looks great. Should be 100% eye clean.

Hi Sonny

The basic info looks good, if you can upload the images such as the hearts image and Idealscope image etc here then we can take a look for you.

It looks great Sonny, as it says h&a Ideal, do you have the hearts image too please? Have you checked it is eyeclean?

 

[sonny55]

No, the H&A image wasn't available as of yet. Do you think it's smart to purchase without? It's from a trusted dealer. Thanks!

They have assured me that the stone is eyeclean.

If it matters to you having an undisputed h&a diamond then the hearts image is essential I believe. If you aren't concerned if the stone doesn't show perfect hearts and might not be a ' true' h&a then you can certainly buy without it, but h&a diamonds can carry a premium and personally I would want the hearts image if I were paying for a h&a stone.

Got the H&A image. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

Its a good image, to me as I am picky about hearts images, it is what I would call ' near h&a' as the patterning isn't quite as precise as I like to see, but its close.

These articles go into greater detail on how hearts are graded,

Beautiful!

I love the small table. The price is fair I think even if not a "true" H&A, though some might not be as critical as Miss Picky up there

and would call it a true H&A.
