Just got this aset image back from James Allen and I have no clue what I'm looking for lol. Any help/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

It's... well, can you post the video of the stone?
 
It's okay. I would probably look for a better cut oval.

The Aset isn't great under the table (the top flat surface of the stone), and it could probably use more red. With fancy cuts, there's always going to be some compromise with performance. It won't be blaring red like the H&A rounds, but it should be a bit better than this.
 
Pretty stone from the video. I can see why you chose it.

I do agree with iota that the ASET is disappointing. What did the gemolgist say?
 
That sure looks like a beautiful oval to me.
 
I didn't receive commentary from the gemologist. One of JA's rep's sent me the aset but I just emailed and asked if the gemologist had any comments. So, based off this aset should I knock this diamond out? Is an aset the end all be all? The video and the specs look great so I'm just confused as to if it's a good choice or not.
 
Specs don't tell you everything. But neither does the ASET. And the ASET isn't that bad, just disappointing given the video.

I'd get it in person and see what you think of it. they have a 60 day return policy and pay return shipping.
 
Good idea, Gypsy. thanks everyone for your input!!
 
:-)

Where are you located? Maybe there are good local jewelers we can have to 'shop' it around at, and see some side by side comparisons with.
 
I'm in Central New Jersey in Union County.
 
The gemologist said that the diamond is white in color and eye-clean! It has minimal bow-tie and the faceting and shape are attractive! The overall light performance, in person, meaning the brightness/ brilliance and fire is above average (There are some dark areas).
 
That is a direct quote from the sales rep. Should I go for it or keep looking?
 
I say get it in person. Can you make it over to Manhattan in the 60 days return policy? Go over to Brilliantly Engaged and take it with you?
 
Ok I think I;m going to go for it and see how I like it in person and yes I can make it to Manhattan. Thank you Gypsy.
 
of course. If you can make it to Long Island (I know it's a hike on the craptastic Belt) then take it to GOG with you too.

Becareful in the diamond district. Do not mentioned you bought it online except to BE or GOG. If anyone else asks just say that you bought it locally. The Diamond District is full of sharks.
 
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time out to help :)
 
:wavey: Report back when you have it. I'd love to follow your journey.
