Opinion on this 2ct round H&A please, TIA

[Seeworld]

I am in search of a almost perfect H&A with the least less light leakage. I found this one that looks good but it's a bit over my budget. I am willing to pay more but I would like to get some opinion before I pull the trigger.

The HCA score is 0.6

Here is the 360 degree video. I am a little concerned as the arrows on the top isn't as sharp compare to the bottom part.

One moment, please...

TIA!

The crown and pavilion angles are not complementing to one another, if this is to be for a ring.

A 40.7° PA is best paired with around 34.7°, give or take a couple/few 0.1°.

That's merely a general guideline, and there absolutely are exception. If you like what you see and the seller has a generous return policy, then it doesn't hurt to get it in hand, test drive it for a while, then make the decision on whether to keep it or return it.

Give or take 0.1 degree?
What have you been taking DW?

Maybe I didn't convey that in the clearest manner.

What I meant is that if the PA is 40.7°, then the CA should be around 34.7°, with some wiggle room of +/- 0.1° when searching for a diamond, so as long as the CA falls within, say, 34.4° to 35.0° then it'll probably be just fine.

Where did you hear that?
40.7PA assuming its not wide ranging works with a huge range of crown angles and table sizes.
The exact ca range depends on table size.

The combo in question works but the crown angle is a little on the low side. It will be a bright stone.

That's exactly the message I was trying to convey: the CA is in the low side.

I usually stick to the ranges portrayed in the chart made by Garry:

Thank you so much for your feedback. I will research more about crown and pivillion angle.
I also received more videos for the seller. The 2 to 5 o'clock area looks like light leakages to me. What do you think?

I received more videos from the seller and I think I saw light leakages from 3 to 5 o'clock. I am curious what is your thoughts about this?
Thank you!

Its not leakage it looks hazy much more than the first pic.
Same diamond????.

@Garry H (Cut Nut)

That's immediately what I thought, as well.
I'm conflicted on that, with it being a VVS2.
I know we're talking IGI here, but I don't think I've ever seen a hazy IGI VVS LGD, even if it would be graded as a VS by GIA or AGS.

yea makes me wonder if its the right image for the stone.

@Seeworld have the seller verify that the girdle inscription of the diamond in the pictures that they sent you matches the IGI report number.

@Garry H (Cut Nut)

Yes, it's the same diamond under different lighting..

 

[Seeworld]

There are some imperfections under the H&A scoop. Do you think that may cause the issues? If not, I will contact the seller again regarding the girdle inscription.

The seller told me he won't be able to take the ASET scoop image with a white background. Is black background image helpful at all?

Thanks!

 

[Karl_K]

no the pictures are showing haze which would not be caused by a heart imperfection.

 

[DejaWiz]

Haziness predominantly throughout the crown and what appears to be a LOT of pinpoints or cloudiness under the table or in the pavilion, which can be easily seen by the contrast of the arrows.

I am looking for a diamond for a ring. In your previous comment, you mentioned this diamond won't look good on a ring setting because of the crown and pavilion angles are not complementing to one another.

The seller seem a little annoyed because I rejected a couple stones from him already. In your opinion, should I just move on to the next stone? So far this seller has been giving me pretty fair quotes and I would like to keep the relationship.

Okay, I will pass this stone for sure.

Thanks again for everyone who help me out, I really appreciate it!

It's your money that the seller wants to put into their cash register, so they should be willing to show you as many different options as it takes until you find the best diamond that meets all of your wants and desires, not theirs.

I totally agree! I should check other vendors out and get more options.

Just saw this on James Allen. Do you mind to give me some pointers? Is it good for a center stone for a ring?

Looks very good!
If I were to nitpick it a bit, the crown height is a little low and crown angle a little shallow for that pavilion angle for my tastes, but that is personal preference.

Here's an option to look at:

That diamond has been photograpghed inside a typical blue backed perspex box. The spots etc are dirt on or under the lid

Thank you so much! The diamond looks very nice! I have never shop at James Allen before, do you know if they will provide videos of the stone under different lighting?

Typically not, as their lab diamond inventory is mostly virtual instead of in-house.
As with most online sellers, they offer a 100% return policy (they pay return shipping up to three loose stones per year, per customer...based in the US), so you get a bit of time to test drive it.

Another great option is to contact Jon (@Rhino ) at Distinctive Gems and utilize his free diamond concierge service! He will find you what you are looking for...even if it's not from his own store inventory.
