Opinion on asscher?

[amae]

Hello! I was hoping to get your opinions on this stone.. My boyfriend picked it out, so I love it, but the only thing bothering me is the symmetry. Of course I won't be looking at it this up close, but do you think it will be visible to the naked eye? Is this a "good" asscher? Is that good spread for the carat size? I'm still waiting to receive the aset

I wouldn't be concerned about the very good symmetry, it's been argued that it's impossible to distinguish between excellent and very good. Here is a thread you might find helpful. https://www.pricescope.com/wiki/diamonds/diamond-symmetry

Oh, just a thought....some people prefer a very high colored stone, while many can't detect the slight differences until around H or lower. The same with clarity, although I agree that step cuts require a higher clarity grade then a brilliant cut, a VS2 or higher is generally enough to ensure that the stone is eye clean. By dropping both color and clarity a bit, you would be able to increase the ct weight of the stone, which in my opinion will be much more visually noticeable. Food for thought.

Not to get to personal, but do you mind if I ask you the price (rough estimate) of that kind of stone.
I just started to look for an asscher cut diamond and would like to know. Did you buy it online or locally?
Thanks
