Hi
In addition to PS being a fantastic place to self-educate, I was hoping someone would be able to assist me in interpreting the attached idealscope image.
I'm looking, with a budget of <$5k, for a round diamond with the following characteristics:
Cut: excellent
Carat: 0.9ct+
Colour: I or better
Clarity: VS1 or better
I've also been working with targeted table/depth/crown/pavilion values to try and find a well-performing diamond. I've identified this diamond thats:
0.9ct - I - VS1 - excellent cut
L/W RATIO: 1.01
DEPTH %: 61.70
TABLE %: 58.00
CROWN: 35.50 deg
PAVILION: 40.60 deg
This was outside of my targeted crown/pavilion range, but I understand that this crown/pavilion combination can work. The inclusion listed was 'cloud' and this is presumably what gives rise to the light leakage in the attached idealscope image. Bearing in mind that it looks eye-clean (at least with online pics) is this light leakage significant enough to avoid this diamond and keep looking elsewhere, or should I go ahead with this one?
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to comment!
