Light leakage help please?

[Tara1718]

The clarity rating for this diamond is VVS2 and it is 1.17 carats, with excellence cut/polish/symmetry. However, the ASET image shows some leakage in the upper left. The GIA report has a comment of clouds are not shown. How much do you think that will be a big deal? Should I be concerned with it in any other spot? There is a spot on the actual diamond image of whre you can see a circle where the light leakage is. There is no video though. The other one I was looking at had a better clarity rating, but smaller in carat size (and about 0.2 mm diameter). There was video for that one, but no ASET or IS image.

The table is 57%. HCA calculated 1.7 and AGA 1A.

I would not be overly concerned about clouds in a VVS stone. What you are seeing under the table is really varying pavilion facet angles. GIA rounds the angle that is report. So, when you see that stair step pattern, it indicates that the pavilion angles are more variable than less. That is why you see the light pink areas of leakage. The larger area of leakage you noted is more problematic, although I think one could call this "above average" it could be better (and way worse).

Can you give the rest of the angles of this stone? Depth%, Crown angle, and Pavilion angles.

Sure, here is the GIA report!

I originally went with a 1.07 and then saw this one, which was a little cheaper and slightly bigger with a lower clarity. I did not see any images of ASET (he said they did not have it) for the 1.07, so it is not really helpful in terms of a no-brainer decision. I am posting that report as well!

I think the stone and numbers look fine. You won't be able to see that tiny bit of leakage. I've had a stone like that before.
