My Idealscope/ASETs are in-- quick peek please???

[HappyNewLife]

OMG, I'm jumping up and down with excitement!

quick backstory: I got my GF a 1.7 carat/G/SI1 60/60 diamond that I just LOVE the look of. It's bright, white, super sparkly and has a 7.8mm diameter (closer to 1.8/1.85 carat in diameter). She LOVES her ring. She wanted us to have matching rings (we are a same-sex couple) and asked me to find "as good" as a diamond for myself, since she's no diamond expert. So, I looked for the same thing for me and found a few contenders. Gypsy recommended this diamond: http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.70-carat-g-color-si1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-275601

I worked with Yoni of EternitybyYoni.com, who made my GF's ring, and he was able to source this same diamond. I asked for Idealscope and ASET images and got them today. He said I got lucky, because it's a great diamond. It's basically my GF's diamond's twin, except it's .09-.12mm smaller. Pretty sure I can handle that

Here are the images. I am liking what I see. Does anyone see any issues (that light pinkish ring in the center of the IS shouldn't worry me, should it)? It looks almost identical to my GF's images actually.

THANKS! Hopefully I'll be engaged soon! (she's in charge of proposing)

they look great to me, you should be good to go. Have you tried to make a video with your GF's diamond ring? I find video more helpful than pics. Since you are happy with your GF diamond, I think you will also like this one too! Should be a stunner

 

[Gypsy]

The image quality is poor on my screen and it looks like the diamond is tilted. If matches what your lady's was like and you love that one, I think might be okay to go, as long as you have a great return policy.

 

[HappyNewLife]

thanks both. I'll inquire whether it's tilted!

This photo set up is just not translating well to me. I can't tell if the ring is leakage or if it's just the photo set up unfortunately.

 

[HappyNewLife]

does this help at all? I zoomed them in.





and for reference, here were my GF's diamond's images. I think it's just the way Yoni sets up the images?





I guess the good thing is that I will have two diamonds in hand and can compare the two. And there is a good return policy.

this link makes me think I'm OK, since my pics look similar-ish to the "ideal": http://www.goodoldgold.com/Articles/GIAExConsumersBeAware/

 

[Gypsy]

Much better. A slight bit of leakage it looks like, but totally within my tolerance. I think it looks very promising. I'd love to see how it compares to your lady's.

*goes back to jumping up and down*

Thanks Gypsy!

I'll be in SF in a few weeks. Maybe I can flash it at you, assuming that I'm engaged then

 

[Gypsy]

I'd love that. Let me know, if I can pop over to meet you and see the bling, that would be fabulous!

 

[HappyNewLife]

She bought the ring today. The countdown to being engaged is ON!
