Need help on diamond! Please!!

Hey guys, newbie here

I've have read some past threads on pricescope and have filtered my selection down to this piece.
May I please have some advice on whether this is a good piece? HCA is 1.7.

Thank you in advance!

Welcome! Do you have ASET/IS images to help you assess light performance? And what is the price for this stone? Those are important factors to help us determine the quality for the cost.

Bumping for analysis.

By the numbers, this is a nicely proportioned stone. Can you get an Idealscope image, or better yet a ASET image? GIA is very reputable, but they round their numbers in such a way as to make it important to be sure they translate to good performance. How much is this stone?

Some options close in size, but super-ideal.

Hey guys, thanks for all the prompt reply. This is such a great community!
This is the idealscope image provided. No ASET scope image available. It is priced at around $10500.

Thanks for the reply. I've attached the Idealscope image provided.
Whiteflash A-Cut is definitely good. But the price is like 20% more haha.

I can't tell if there's leakage or if it's just a poorly taken image. @rockysalamander and others, can you chime in?

The stone is very tilted. The arrows on the north (also where that very bright white is located) are missing. So, ignore that area (blue circle). Then, visually remove the amount of white you see in the middle from the table. What's left is leakage. I've highlighted the areas where I think there is real leakage. So, this looks to be one of the many stones we now see with highly variable lowers. So, its giving up some light due to that uneven cutting.



For my money, I'd rather the below stone. It is basically the same in size and spread. It is eye-clean and has not problematic inclusions. Its LESS expensive and has much better light return than the one directly above. Bonus here is that Expert Select from WF are given the same very generous upgrade policy as ACA.

My computer refuses to play the video or maybe its missing (@Texas Leaguer ). The video would show the inclusion better, but I've not seen a stone WF notes as eye-clean that I'd disagree with.

Thank you for the reply mate. As much as possible, I'll prefer not to go for an SI1 even if its eye clean. My girl may not be happy(psychological barrier you know).

How about this piece? Idealscope as attached. Cheers!
