Is this ASET too bad to buy?

[mark0611]

I like the specs and price of this diamond, but isn''t that ASET a bit off?

Any thoughts?

I''m not an expert, but it looks like a very good Princess ASET to my eyes.

It looks like a great ASET to me as well, lots of red through the center and corners, & green around the edges is typical of the princess ASETs I''ve seen. Perhaps you don''t like the pattern? I''m no expert in princesses but there''s definitely a few patterns out there . . .

I see a vibrant stone, full of reds and greens with minimal black and not a lot of blue, which I would like to see a little more of, but basically a great looking ASET picture. What is it that you do not like about the ASET?

Hi Mark,

An ACA has to meet certain guideline ( I think there are 16 of them) in order to be an ACA stone, so basically it should be a great stone. Now, how does it compare with another ACA, I cant tell you, you will have to see them in person.

But, what I can tell you is, that when I visited WhiteFlash and seen the ACA stones, they are the best diamonds (rounds, princess and pears) that I have ever seen.

Good Luck

Thanks all.

Wink, I suppose I would prefer to see more of a diamond with lots of red, and then a small amount of green in the middle, sides and corners.

Although,I really have no basis...

This seems like a great diamond otherwise...

such a diamond would have little too no contrast and be rather boring.
The greens, black, and what little blue there is in princess cuts provide contrast needed for contrast brilliance.
A stone with proper contrast brilliance will appear brighter than a brighter one with no contrast.

The ASET looks pretty typical of the new breed princess cuts.
