So I'm driving myself nuts here, probably without good reason. I went back and forth on even posting this, but I wanted some peace of mind.
I recently bought a ring from IDJ and only afterwards did I remember to request the ASET/IS images. While I fully trust IDJ, and Yekutial reassured me the stone is fine, AND I have seen it in person 3x, the images were a bit odd to me. Having this (hopefully) be a one time purchase, and spending quite a bit of money on it, I just want to make sure I'm not buying a bad diamond.
Stone's #'s are: 1.72, J, SI1, Medium Blue Fluorescence, Depth 61.2, Table 57, Crown 34, Pavilion 40.6, HCA 0.7.
Images attached. The green blob at the 7 o'clock and the broken arrow at the 1 o'clock freaked me out. I now understand after reading through about 30 threads here that the green blob is fine. So should I worry about that broken arrow?
I will say this:
- I fully understand I'm not paying for a hearts and arrows stone. In fact, this same stone at Whiteflash would probably be 2x the amount honestly. But I'm fine without a H&A designation as long as it doesn't impact fire/brilliance.
- I've seen the stone in person 3x. It looked good to me. By itself it is quite fiery.
- I did compare it to a JA True Hearts stone (1.51, J, VS1, Strong Blue Fluorescence, Depth 61.2, Table 55, Crown 34, Pavilion 40.8, HCA 1.0.) While I did notice the JA stone was slightly more fiery, it was not significant. But I did notice it. Still, this is 1.72 vs. 1.51 and both I and Yekutial thought the size was a better choice.
- Here is a gif of the two stones side by side: https://giphy.com/gifs/NSsLy90iLYXw4/html5
With all that said, I'm a novice to all this and I can't read these images that well despite trying. Is there anything in these images that would be a basis to disqualify this stone?
