Newbie Help Please

[EMiii]

Hi! I’ve been reading all that I can on pricescope but I’m still not confident yet about my decision to go ahead with a particulars diamond. Wondering if anyone could please help evaluate this ideal scope image? Would greatly appreciate your help as I am a total newbie

Will I definitely need an ASET image on top of this to determine more about this diamond?

Thanks in advance!

Off the asset alone it looks to have leakage under the table.

Thanks for having a look. I was excited to have found a diamond with HCA under 2 and with excellent graded cut. But based on this leakage under the table do you think this would be quite detrimental to the beauty of the diamond? Is this a no-go?

 

[Niel]

I dunno. Have you seen it in person and liked it? Is it noticeably cheaper than other diamonds you're considering. Or noticeably larger? Why is this the only diamond option available?

 

[EMiii]

I saw it on James Allen.

In terms of price it costs less than other diamonds within the same range:

Carat 2
Colour I
VVS1

Perhaps the light leakage is why this diamond costs less...

 

[Niel]

VVS seems very high to pair with an I color. Maybe look a bit more see if you can find a bit better cut with a bit less premium for clarity. What was the price of that?

 

[EMiii]

USD16k for this diamond.

 

[Niel]

I like this one. Is it out of budget if you could get $100 off the price?

Hi EMiii! In my opinion, you could find a diamond with better proportions which will give you better light return. The higher table % and crown angle will create some leakage. If this were a much smaller diamond, you could possibly get away with the bit of leakage as the surface area isn't as great as a 2.0ct. Maybe open up your search to AGS ideal and maybe down to J color. If the proportions are right and the diamond is returning as much light as possible, the color will face up much whiter than what you imagine a J to be There are some great options out there for you Happy hunting!

Thanks so much Niel and Katie Homuth, you guys are all so helpful and it's really helping my hunt.

I guess my main concern with buying a diamond online and not seeing it in person is that it will show through too yellow / not bright enough / not eye clean etc so hence I was limiting the specifications range.

I have had a look at the diamond above Niel, I am now requesting ASET/Ideal Scope images for this.

In the meantime would it be possible if you could please take a look at this 2ct below.

I
VS1
Excellent Cut
Excellent Polish
Excellent Symmetry
Medium Fluorescence
Depth 61.5%
Table 57%
Pavilion 40.8 degrees, 43%
Crown 35 degrees, 15%
Girdle 3.5%

Would be grateful if someone could please take a look of the ASET image above - I am not sure whether the pink above counts as a 'ring of death'?
