Hello,

So, from reading the tutorials, I notice that there appears to be some light leakage? Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm after a very well performing diamond but don't particularly trust my own eyes with estimating its performance. Is there particular light I should look at it in?
Besides for the diamond, I got it mounted in: http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/platinum-six-prong-knife-edged-solitaire-engagement-ring-handmade-item-2426
However, on close inspection, the prongs don't seem symmetrical & the diamond doesn't seem that well centered?
I guess part of me thinks I'm seeing things, but just wanted to get some separate opinions.
