Hello PSers,
I am trying to narrow down on my diamond upgrade. The crown and pavilion seem to be great. I have done a lot of research on PS but the one area I am having trouble with is determining light leakage based on photos/video's. I have to purchase my upgrade from BN.
This diamond seems to be my front runner, but I was told there might be some slight light leakage. Should I always be able to see the distinct 8 arrows face up?
Can you PSers help me with some pointers on how I can identify light leakage going forward without an Ideal Scope? I can't afford super ideal in my 11K budget for a 1.5 but I want to get the sparkiest stone as possible. I'm okay with it being an 85/100 standard, as color H and 1.5 size are important to me. 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock seem transparent here, but perhaps its the angle or camera.
Here is the link: https://www.bluenile.com/diamond-details/LD14539010
1.53 carats/ VVS2/ H-color/Medium Fluorescence
Depth: 62.2
Table: 56%
Crown 34.5%
Pavilion: 40.8
