I chose this one because it's the least light leakage I had ever seen on a GCAL report. Drawbacks I could see is that there is a cutlet, although it is very small (0.5mm/0.7%) and the only inclusion sits on the table of the diamond. I couldn't notice the inclusion in the pictures/videos but I suppose it's more likely to be noticeable since it's on the table. This is the first and hopefully last diamond I'll ever buy so I wanted it to be the perfect one. I could go slightly up or down on the price range and the most important aspects of the diamond to me, by FAR, are brilliacne and fire. If that is what I'm interested in does this stone seem like a good choice? I've requested an idealscope image of the diamond if they can provide it.
I welcome any critiques or recommendations. I'm sure almost everyone here is much more experienced than I am so I'd defer to your judgement when it comes to picking a diamond with the most fire/brilliance. Again, I chose this diamond for the most part because it is the least light leakage I have ever seen on a GCAL report. I'm not sure how accurately that reflects the brilliance and fire of the stone in person. If anyone else could weigh in and tell me if I'm looking at the right metrics or whether there are other factors I should take into consideration for fire/brilliance I would be incredibly appreciative.
Thanks!
