Input on this diamond?

[apyott]

Good morning,

Have been lurking for a while and thought it was time to try and get some advice! I am looking at this 2.31 I VS2 round brilliant diamond and would love some input on the ASET and Ideal Scope images. Have also attached the GIA cert. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You wouldnt happen to have a hearts image would you? Obviosuly something going on around 7:00 otherwise it looks good.
Does a jeweler/vendor have it in hand? Ask for a video to see if that area bugs you or if you can live with it. Or, have you
seen this stone in person?

I have seen it in person and it seems pretty nice but to be honest most of them look good! I do not believe that it is a hearts and arrows diamond. The spot at 7:00 as you mentioned was my concern even though I didn't notice it when viewing the diamond. The lighter of the 2 ASET images was also concerning as I wasn't sure if it was showing leakage or not. Scores a 0.9 on the HCA. Cost is $18,900 so I am just wondering if this is a good choice or if I should keep looking - my budget is in the range but flexible. Thanks!

Hmm, shallow crown angle coupled with steep pavillion angle. Likely to sacrifice a bit of fire with those proportions.

Like tyty, got some concerns about the region around 7 o'clock. Does the vendor have an image of the diamond in addition to a hearts image that tyty has mentioned?

That's a decent price...no it will not be an H&A...just trying to see what was causing that area to show leakage.

I do not have a hearts and arrows image of the diamond. Could request it but would probably take a day or two. I'm just wondering if its worthwhile or if I should just move on?
