Looks like the diamond is tilted so it’s hard to say. Do you have regular images?

Thanks @mwilliamanderson . I thought it was tilted as well. Here is a picture

I would want to see an ASET. There looks like they’re might be some issues with leakage. Are the angles borderline?

Interesting. The angles look good. Here they are

Looks good proportion wise and I could be totally wrong. @flyingpig is good at spotting leakage. Can you weigh in flyingpig?

The stone is tilited in the photo as well.
Regarding the circled areas, obviously, you want to see bright white reflections. But in this case, the diamond is tilted and that area (12 oclock under tha tablr) is reflecting brown object or light in the room. This is ok. But sometimes, it can mean the area has minor leakage and/or drawing light from low angle.
It is not easy to tell. You want to look at the intensity and uniformity of light reflection and the crispness of the facet. Again, in this case, it looks like a well defined triangular facet with strong and even brown reflection. It is hard. But leakage and light return just look different. It is like looking at the light reflection off of a mirror and seeing something thru a glass full of water. The experience is not the same.

At the end, this stone is perfectly fine. Somehow JA made the diamond look significantly worse in the IS image than in the video.

@YoungPapa you gotta address this. I see too many poorly taken IS images from your comany. JA used to be so good at this. Only WF was better.

Thanks for the mini lesson @flyingpig! That’s good new for you @Mlh.

Thanks so much @flyingpig!! Any concern with the natural? I was wondering, the dark brown areas along the rim, can you explain what these are? I always wonder about those when looking at pictures.

Those dark brown areas are reflecting whatever dark brown object or light in the room.

Here is an example.

Diamond | 1.043 ct H VS2 A CUT ABOVE® Hearts and Arrows Super Ideal Round Cut Loose Diamond AGS Certified | 4292677

This Whiteflash A CUT ABOVE® super ideal cut hearts and arrows 1.043 carat H color VS2 clarity loose diamond is graded by the American Gem Society (AGS) Laboratories. | 4292677

www.whiteflash.com

It is an ACA. It has no leakage. The ASET and IS are perfect. Therefore, whatever blue and brown around the edges and under the table and right in the middle are the reflection of blue and brown objects/light in the room where the photo was taken.
