Idealscope images back, need help please

[Mattehwsre]

I narrowed down to 3 stones from all of the help received in this thread:
https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/diamond-choice-help-please.192308/

but now I have the idealscope images and it initially looked like there was a clear winner until I noticed it looks like the other 2 stones are tilted and I was wondering if that is what is causing the light loss.

Here is the response and the links and images I have received from James Allen.

As I am sure you expected after reviewing the images, the gemologist found the 0.77 carat-I-SI1 (diamond 243443; $2,600) to be the best performer of the three. It has an excellent amount of brilliance (white light return), with a great amount of fire (dispersion of color) and sparkle that is well balanced and symmetrical. The 0.75 carat-H-VS2 (diamond 245643; $3,170) and the 0.81 carat-H-SI1 (diamond 244582; $3,600) are very beautiful options that also have an excellent amount of brilliance, fire and sparkle, but she was taken by the overall balance of the three in the 0.77 carat. They are all nice white colors and face up "eye clean".

HCA 2.3

HCA 1.4 (I think, I can't pull up the calc at the moment but I am pretty sure this was a 1.4)


I was leaning towards 245643 because of the HCA, H, and VS2, but after seeing these images it seems like 243443 is the only way to go if these images are all correct. Any thoughts on the images and tilting? Should I just go with the 245643?

Thank you in advance for your answers!

I think 1 and 3 have the best IS. 1 has the gemologist's recommendation, 3 is AGS 0. The size difference is pretty small, I'd probably take the H.

 

[Mattehwsre]

I'm also leaning towards the the H, but I still want to know if the tilt could be affecting the images as I was leaning towards the third one before the images.

Also the first one almost looks like there are spider webs on it in this picture on the bottom right, any thoughts on that?

 

[Mattehwsre]

Bump, one last try for feedback

 

[JulieN]

I wouldn't worry about those, they are not issues, IMO.

 

[Mattehwsre]

You wouldn't worry about the spider web looking deal or the tilting?

I wish there was a good example out there that would show different Idealscope images at different angles for the same diamond so that I could use it for comparison to see how much of an effect it has. Anyone seen an example of that?

 

[JulieN]

Either. I really do not SEE any spider webby thing, and it is a VS2, anyway, and JA's gemologist would have mentioned if it was not eye clean.

THere is some tilt in the IS but there is no leakage, so you don't need to worry about it.

 

[Mattehwsre]

The spiderweb thing is in the first one .77 I colored stone.

I think I am leaning back to the .75 VS2, H, AGS 0

It is a little bit more, but I think that the slight color dif and feather will bug me on the other one just knowing they are there. I want her to have the perfect stone

Thank you for helping alleviate my concerns with the tilting and that it does not appear to have leakage on the third one I wish the picture was more dead on so I could see it like the .77
