Should I stay away from this H&A?

[NervousDude]

Hi, been doing some homework and I'm ready to buy, this scored a 1.6 HCA if i did it right. From the pics, you think the H&A look good or okay? What bothers me is the GIA certificate states, "There are pinpoints and clouds not shown. Stay away and keep hunting or buy buy buy!!!???

Those all look like computer generated images to me and not real images of the stone. I have some doubts about it qualifying as hearts and arrows from the images shown, but it looks like a nice stone. But I'd insist on actual idealscope images and not these.

I don't think you need to worry about inclusions in a VS1 stone.

Have you seen this diamond in person? Do you like the 60/60 type look in diamonds? Do you want to have more brightness in stone or more fire?

this was from b2cjewels.com it says Actual diamond images. I will call them on MOnday to verify if these are really the pics of this diamond. Haven't seen it in person. I wouldn't know how to answer about the 60/60 , I've probably seen two diamonds in my lifetime upclose and dont know how to spot it. Whats better more fire or brightness?

 

[NervousDude]

is 60/60 look for a round diamond bad?

Do a search for 60/60 on pricescope and you'll find some useful information. It's a matter of personal preference. I've seen a 60/60 type stone in person and thought it was bright and beautiful. If you want more fire and colored light return, I suggest that you search a for a stone with a smaller table.

Click the second little picture from the left and you'll see what an actual idealscope image looks like. Their response to you is puzzling to me.

60/60 stones have a different look than more traditionally cut RB's. The larger table lends itself to more white light return, whereas a smaller table, as said before, tends to produce more colored light, leading to a nice balance between colored (fire) and white light light.

I have a (non H&A) 60/60 and it definitely has less fire than my H&A RB with a smaller table.

This stone you posted has "arrows" and "hearts", but the symmetry and meet points are off, and the chevrons are variable. Many vendors here would be hesitant to call it a true H&A.

There shouldn't be any clarity issues in a VS1.

Not a true H&A stone.
