I found these 3 diamonds on James Allen. I like square-ish shapes so I like all three shapes. Although the stones range from 1.7-2ct, they are all very close to 7x7mm. The price for them ranges around 14-16k, I forget the exact prices because it doesn't show right now as they have been removed from inventory for the additional ASET images I requested. Please give me your opinions on which stone you think looks best! I would greatly appreciate your help! =D

Love this diamond! I like the smaller table, looks similar to Solasfera princess. I believe the Solasfera princess exhibits so much white light brilliance due to its perfect optical symmetry lending to its contrast patterns that you don't normally see in princesses. On GOG I notice most princesses only score in the high white light brilliance category on the BrilliantScope/Gemex, but all the Solasfera princesses score very high. However, I'm concerned that looking straight on, the diamond shows a lot of darkness. Could that be due to too much contrast? Is that a cause of the diamond being cut slightly deep at a depth of 76%? The computer generated ASET image has a lot of blue but I've seen in a picture that the computer generated ASETs usually do:
Another concern is the SI1 clarity grade. I don't mind SI1 clarity as long as it's eye clean and doesn't affect brilliance. My boyfriend is picky about clarity, he doesn't want to see any flaws under 10x magnification. I can see a fuzzy spot in the right corner of the diamond, and in the video you can really see the long feather from the bottom side.

Internally flawless! Looking at the picture, there seems to be nice brightness and contrast patterns. I can see a bit of blurriness under the table-- less bright or leakage? I don't know about ideal parameters for a radiant and I've requested an ASET which they said they would email me in about 2 days-- will post as soon as i get it.

Looks like it has nice brightness and contrast. Symmetry on this stone is only "good" though compared to Ideal on the princess, and Excellent on the radiant. I've requested an ASET for this stone as well. I see a bit of blurriness/leakage under the table.
