I really like it. Table size is great. Nice patterns. It throws off plenty of fire. Nice asscher.

Gorgeous!

I like everything about it except the dark center is a little worrisome (however during the video I think I only saw
the center go dark once). It preformed pretty nicely in the video.

All and all I would say its a winner. Where is karl when we need him...probably busy with his Octavias!

BtW - I''m no asscher expert.

My two concerns before seeing it in person were the dark center when looking straight down on it and the color. In person the center is hardly noticeable and at a slight angle lights up wonderfully.

Did I mention that photographing diamonds is hard (especially without a macro lens and tripod)? It makes me appreciate Kenny's photography even more.

Here is one of the better shots I got:

Aw cool shot!

Yes still photography can lead us into thinking that something like that dark area is an inherent defect in the cut of the diamond.

But in real life you find out that to duplicate that dark area you'd have to hold the diamond still in one precise position, in one particular lighting environment, and view it at one particular distance (obstruction).

Of course other dark areas ARE indicative of cut problems, like steep deep, are actually inherent problems with the cut.

Im here and watching.
Since I have a business relationship with gog I have to be cautious unless someone asks for my opinion or information needs to be corrected. So far this thread is good :}

That is what you look for, it should look 10 miles deep looking strait down into it then light up with slight tilt.

Thats a beautiful shot! I can so agree with what Kenny has to say about certain things only coming out at certain angles in still shots otherwise in real life
you hardly ever see it.

Thanks for checking in Karl...I''m so use to you (and your expertise) being around...we need a clone of you that is not associated with the diamond industry!

Another relevant example is bow tie.

Bowtie is easy to catch in a still pic if the diamond has it.
But, more importantly, when you hold the diamond in your hand are rock it gently back and forth that region remains relatively dark when the bowtie is serious.
