Novice here...
To the trained eyes, how does this rate? Would it qualify as a true H&A stone?
Thanks

Not a "trained eye", but it looks promising.. You only posted hearts though. Picture for the arrows?
 
I suspect there is something wrong with the girdle , do you have the cert?
 
medium, 3.0%. What caught your eye?
 
What are the angles from the report? is/aset image?
 
HCA score of 0.5

T 56.0%
D 60.4%
C angle 34.0%
P angle 40.6%

But please don't let that bias your view of the image
 
I'm not entirely sure how one would determine whether that particular diamond is an H&A. There are 8 hearts and arrows based on the images, and this lends to or implies great symmetry. Generally, an H&A diamond is more of a branding given by the seller and not something graded by a lab (Or at least not GIA or AGS)

The diamond looks great though, and I'd suspect the IS will agree. Are you able to request an IS?
 
Looks like the stone is very slightly tilted around the y axis (using a simple 2-d maths plot). I think this diamond looks good. Get the vendor to retake the hearts image if you need certainty.

The face up pic is showing paddles on the arrows that can disqualify it from h&a if seen in a h&a viewer as white.
With that angle combo it should not be an issue.

The hearts look ok, there is some yaw that a purist might complain about but yea it shows h&a by many standards.
 
Thank you very much everyone!!!
