Hi all,
This community has been amazing with great knowledge about something I hope to purchase only once in my life.
I ended up purchasing a 2.5ct FIC (1.9 on HCA, J, VS2-eye clean, triple ex) with strong florescence for ~17k. I took the stone to a local jeweler for a few minutes and it looked like my stone had similar amounts of brilliance and scintillation (with more fire) compared to their inventory under their lights.
I am second guessing myself because of all the great IS pictures I've seen here. I understand it's not going to be perfect (not happy about the leakage under the table), but is there anything in the IS and ASET below that shows something seriously off that would be noticeable in real life by the average person? Do FIC stones usually have less brightness that show up in the IS?
Thanks for the help!
