Isee2 Results on a JA TrueHearts Diamond

[Mattcv]

Recently I purchased a 1.658 RB TrueHearts diamond from James Allen. To my untrained eye I thought the diamond looked great, but I took it into my jeweler to find out how it compared to the HoF diamond they were trying to sell me.

Here is my previous post:Diamond Details

The HoF diamond was a 1.67 H VS2 and it was $9,500 more than what I spent on mine (Thanks JA!!) Unhappily, the jeweler commented how beautiful my stone was knowing that they couldn''t come close on price.

My diamond scored a 9.3: Its scores are in white
HoF diamond scored a 9.2: Its scores are in yellow

As my main concern was finding a diamond that sparkled I think the Isee2 results confirmed what my eye had been telling me.

Sounds like you have a beautiful diamond.

The image you posted looks like neither. Curious, what and where is this image from?

I couldnt get a print out / screen shot of the comparison that they did at the store, so I went to the Isee2 website and took a screen shot of their data. Then I tried to overlay the scores that I received that day (they''re approximations, mine in white..HoF in yellow)to show the difference between the HoF and the TrueHearts.

I guess I should have explained the picture a little more. I have added thicker colored lines which I hope will show where the two diamonds scored. Sorry I didn''t have a better way to get my point across.

No prob. I got ya. You lucked out in this instance. Many diamonds do not score over a 9.0 Congrats to you though on your engagement and looks like you did well.

Kind Regards,

In another thread, Jim did explain that all 'True Hearts' diamonds come from the same cutter.
You can find Isee2 diamonds at JA, but they will be sold as 'Ideal' cut:

Their prices are very competitive!

Rhino,

I''m by no means an expert. So if a little luck needs to come into it that''s fine with me

. I just wanted to show the difference that I saw; but you''re right, a sample size of one is not enough data to say that ALL TrueHearts would score that well.

Thanks to the PS group for all their help.
