WELCOME!

Most folks on here are fans of flourescence, and slight flourescene isn''t going to tip anyone''s hat one way or another.

VS2''s are generally eyeclean to most people. But Clarity is graded Crown up, so the stone may have inclusions visible from the side view. No one can advise you about the inclusions on a VS2 except the person holding the diamond in real life.

And most of the round experts are gonna want an IS to advise you.

thanks for your reply!!

ohh i forgot to mention, in the mean time whilst i wait for the IS, aparently the diamond is H&A from what the supplier had told me but we are waiting to confirm, what would you say about the diamond going off the proportions on the GIA cert? Do they look good?

The numbers looks good but we can''t tell if it is a H&A from just the numbers. If possible, get a Hearts image from the vendor to verify that it is a H&A. Also a good hearts image only means that it has nice symmetry not necessary meant that it has excellent light performance but this stone''s number looks promising for the light performance

Ditto. Hearts images are really essential to judge overall cut precision for a diamond being sold as h&a.

okies, so it looks good so far, lets hope the IS images look good too!

Has potential but I would really want an Idealscope or ASET image for that angle combo. The inclusions should be fine as the diamond is of VS2 clarity, but it doesn''t hurt to check with the vendor.
