These are the ideal scope pics of a marquise I plan to sell on eBay (I had bought it for an e-ring but have since settled on a halo type setting for a RB).
I only have two jewellers' appraisals (no GIA, etc) which put it as 0.5ct E-F color and VVS2 clarity. I'm going to post the ideal scope pics in the listing to give people a better idea about the stone. Could someone take a look at them and tell me if it looks like a decent cut? I don't want to start describing it as a good stone if it's more like frozen spit. To my untrained eye it looks quite nice and very clear. It does have some sparkle but it's not exactly blinding, though I know marquise aren't necessarily known for their sparkle.
The first pic is as it came off the camera, the second has gone through the 'smart fix' in Photoshop Elements and shows the white a bit more clearly.
Incidentally - after several aborted attempts at keeping the stone facing upright as I took the pictures, I made two little notches in the ideal scope light's pre-cut holes for the marquise to sit in. Worked a treat
Thanks in advance - and once again, no offers on here thanks
