Light leakage on this diamond?

[Lidstar]

Hello guys,

Newbie here. I am currently trying to purchase a diamond from James Allen. I found one diamond within the recommended pavilion angle, table and depth. However, in the video, the diamond shows light leakage (?) on the table and made me uncomfortable with this diamond. The diamond has an HCA score of 1.2.

Can you guys enlighten me on what is considered as light leakage/obstruction?

Can you take a screengrab and circle what you think is light leakage?

Nothing to worry about here.

Plenty of threads if you’re looking for a discussion on definition and exhibition of terms commonly used on PS like “leakage” (light escape), “contrast”, etc. start here:

JA will provide IdealScope imaging on some of their stones - ask if that service is available for this one.

Excellent info here. I don't see any leakage in the diamond. But the easiest way to confirm this is through an IdealScope image. Ask JA for the image and then post it here.

Does it need to be IF clarity, or would you consider VVS as well? If you would consider VVS, then I would also highly suggest looking at this diamond:

It's listed cheaper here at Parcel and Stone, but I provided the adiamor link because they had a video.

It's equally well cut when compared to the stone you posted, and it's about $1000 cheaper.
