My name is ### and I work closely with the gemologist over at JamesAllen.com. I just wanted to take this moment to reach out to you with the Idealscope images of the round brilliant diamonds (diamond #’s: 1512270, 1512266 and 1516370). I have attached the image to the e-mail and I am sure that you will be very excited to see it. With Idealscope images you want to see a lot of red/pink in the diamond (this represents direct light return) with little black color (the black is obstructed light) and very little if not any white (which represents light leakage) in the picture. I think that you will agree with me when I say that these images look absolutely gorgeous and are exactly what you want to see in an idealscope image.
Also, with a big important purchase such as this, I took the liberty of having a gemologist look at the diamonds for you and give us some feedback. I am glad to give you the great feedback that the gemologist gave us, as they absolutely LOVED the diamonds! She said that the 1.0 carat-H-VS2 (diamond #: 1512270) was the number one diamond due to it performing the best. It had great light performance and face’s up completely “eye clean”. The 1.01 carat-H-VS2 (diamond #: 1512266) was a close second because it’s light performance was just a hair below diamond 1512270. This diamond will face up completely “eye clean” as well. The 1.01 carat-H-SI1 (diamond #: 1516370) was not recommended due to it having weak light performance and the clouds on the diamond are causing it to appear hazy.
