isee2 diamonds versus hand-picked H&A s

[cssuja]

Hi all,

I am thinking upgrading of my H&A diamond (1.08 HSI1) from GOG. Thinking of going to 1.5+. I understand that Jonathan carries isee2 branded diamonds as well. I am wondering if there is any noticeable difference between these branded stones, and his hand-picked top H&As.

Those who have seen both side by side, please comment. Thanks in advance.

Isee2 diamonds are usually cut with a lot of precision, not to say that his other hand picked diamonds aren''t. What you will notice about Isee2 diamonds is that their diamonds typically have lower girdle facet length of about 79-80% and star ratios of about 58%-60%, giving the diamond higher scintillation. And if you look at their DiamXray pics, you will notice that their hotspots in the star facet areas are almost symmetrical.
BUT, ultimately, do consider others as well. Maybe you can narrow your choices down to 2 or 3 and ask him to do a video and see which one your eyes prefer.
