Need Advice: Hearts & Arrow Diamond - Specs & Pics Inside

[n9com]

Hi,

I am about to purchase a 1.34 carat, H colour, VS1 'perfect' H&A diamond for an engagement ring.

Pic of GIA report attached.

I have already viewed the diamond under an idealscope and the H&A pattern seems close to perfect, apart from a few very very minor issues (which may not even be real issues). I've attached a pic taken through an iPhone (sorry it is a bit blurry).

I would be really grateful if any experts around on this forum could give their opinion on the diamond.

Thanks a lot!

N9com,

You have done a nice job picking a diamond with good proportions. The images you have posted are the Hearts&Arrows view, there is not an Ideal-Scope image.

H&A draws light from above and side only, with no regard for light leakage passing through the diamond.

Ideal-Scope is backlit and you see leakage as white, but the “Arrows” will be black on the Ideal-Scope.

The white spot at 9:30 on the Arrows view may be some sort of inclusion or even an artifact caused by the viewers filament paper.
