Light Leakage-opinions

[bOlivia]

Need some opinions-what do you think of the light leakage with this?

My opinion is don't judge the diamonds light leakage by that image.

That looks beautiful!

The slight leakage around the girdle is pretty standard for ideal cut stones, and many people feel that -as long as it's slight like here- it can enhance the 'on-off' sparkle effect along the edge, a good thing. The white points in between the arrows remind me of the Venus by Infinity stone I looked at, which was to die for.

Again, looks like a fantastic stone. What are the rest of the specs?

Wacky, would you mind sharing the reasoning behind your statement? Thanks.

Here's that stats

I, VS2
1.06ct
Ex polish
Ex symetry
Crown 35.1
Pav 40.7
Table 6.51-6.56X4.05
Gird. thin-thick

It got a 1.4 on the hca. Do you think the table is on small for its size?

I'm betting those dimensions are the diameter of the stone -and they're perfect for that carat weight!

The table should be listed as a percentage of the total diameter. Probably somewhere in the mid-50% range...

That is certainly a good ideal scope shot... Nice stone in my opinion.

It is good leakage.

I believe that IS image may be JUST barely off plum for that stone... alternatively there could be a slight slope to the crown.... is it possible to post the hearts as well... it looks like it has outstanding symmetry (if I am correct on my first assumption).....

looks nice in either case though.

I think it’s just the table that is not totally parallel to the lens. It’s not that easy to get perfect alignment.

I managed to get a nice set of trays from Gary’s company Precious Metals that work really well for this type of work
