Is this a good diamond? [according to GIA report and stone image]

[flyingangelet]

Hi guys,

http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/D-VS1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1247493.asp

It seems the stone is good when I check the grading report: HCA score < 2, no big inclusions, etc.

But when I use the virtual loupe to check the actual stone image it seems that the diamond is not beautiful: some ares are grey, and the 8 arrows are very different (colors ranges from black to grey). OK. I have to say I don''t know how to "read" a stone image. Any eduacation to me?

If the ideal scope image is very good (let''s assume), is this stone still a very good stone?

Thanks.

Can''t tell much from the virtual loupe pics, an Idealscope image will tell us more, looks like it could be a good diamond. Have you requested an IS from James Allen?

Numbers look good to me. Will wait for the IS image.

Thank you, Lorelei and Stone

Yeah I requested the ISs (JA does not provide ASET for RB) and I am supposed to receive the image on Tuesday However I am still waiting.

I was thinking if the stone is not a good candidate (according to the virtual loupe and GIA report) maybe I do not need to wait this one.

I wish I can get the IS today.

Hmm... Check your junkmail box or give them a call. Sometimes, email get loss in the internet.
