Hi,
Looking through JA's inventory, I've noticed that some diamond clips offer better visual contrast than others. Note, I only compared diamonds with similar proportions. Here are 2 examples to illustrate my question:

To me, the Canadian diamond has better contrast in the face up position. I know it's premature to make a judgement on light performance of a diamond from these clips without actual IS/Aset images, but is it possible to glean from such contrast difference that the Canadian diamond is more translucent/less milky and suggests it may possess better light performance? I would hope that JA uses the same camera/lighting conditions for every diamond they feature.
Ultimately, I am going to request for imaging on my final 3 choices, but wanted to see if I can use contrast difference from the video clip as a screener (on top of HCA score) to narrow down the field. Thanks.
