Is this leakage under the table?

Is that leakage under the table of this diamond?

 

[strmrdr]

nope
its normal leakage on a classic style diamond without painting or digging.

Here is the lightscope image. I am a bit concern about the white ring (leakage) under the table.

I dont see any leakage under the table all I see is a little spot that is likely an inclusion.
Are you talking about the 8 white dots and the leakage around the edge?
They are normal for a classic style diamond.

strm, I could be wrong, but I wonder if they mean how it''s just a hair lighter under the table, not all uniform red so to speak.

could be but thats normal.

here is the one for my wifey2b''s diamond it has several shades of red.
leakage is white.

Oh, I agree. Mine''s the same way, just trying to figure out if that''s what they meant.

another.....

Here is an older diaxray picture taken with slightly different lighting that looks totaly different but tells the same thing... kicken diamond.

I know there are leakage under table for all diamonds. I just notice there are more of the white stuff between the arrows under the table.

This one has less "white" under the table

if the contrast was the same on the 2 pictures they would look pretty much the same.
that one has a much darker tone.... dont mean anything,,,,,

This is a nice stone. No white under the table at all (compare to the first lightscope picture I posted above)

Hi Vina,

Caught your post and would like to clarify. Being familiar with these images i can tell ya the original one you posted is actually as nice as the last pic you did. The difference is in the setting used when the photo was taken. I adjusted the brightness/contrast on your first image to point out features we look for and some information I can share with you about the stone based on the image.

If you take note of the dark red spikes under the table which I have pointed to in blue. It is actually the same as in your last pic as well and you will only get this phenomena when you have ...

A. Ideal slope angles (in AGS system). There is no blatant leakage under the table and
B. You have azimuth angles on both the crown mains and pavilion facets (all 24 of them) that will all generally fall less than .7 degree variation from ideal which can be confirmed mathematically/numerically via a Helium Report.

That image only results from super tight dimensions in the cutting. If you want to see where on the Helium Report this is confirmed let me know which stone it is and I''ll show ya.

Kind regards,

oops... here''s the original image I adjusted brightness/contrast and the arrows pointing to the dark red spikes I had mentioned. You should also see and be able to confirm these optical results via the Gem Advisor file > IdealScope view on the same stone.
