Thinking of Purchasing One of These Diamonds for an Engagement Ring

[sollie]

JamesAllen.com emailed me this:

"Mark,

I think the diamond is beautiful. An eye pleaser for sure. No need for
concern with respect to the visual performance of the diamond. The diamond
easily appears eye-clean. I do not have the capability of providing an ASET
image, but I have attached the GIA grading report, magnified image, and
sarin analysis for your review. We could have an ideal scope image captured
as well, but that may take a day or two to gather from our photography
department. I'll go ahead and request that image for you though today. : )"

Could someone help me decipher the Sarin Analysis?

And back to my initial question. Is it worth the money? Thanks.

Of course, I will wait on the ideal scope image, and then post that as well.

I'd put it on hold. Ask for three ADDITIONAL pics-- none of them magnified like that.... bright direct light, diffused light and side view. And the idealscope 100% you need that.


I think it's going to have a bowtie from that image. It's just a matter of how LARGE of one.

Ok, Gypsy. I''ll post back when I get the ideal scope and any additional pictures. Thanks again.

I''m not in love with the stone, but if you like it, that''s all that matters.

I''m holding out judgement until we seen more.

Sorry to bump but would someone mind commenting on this ideal scope image? I am no expert and would really appreciate an expert's opinion. Thanks!
