I used to be active on here a lot time ago but haven’t looked at one of these gia certs in years! What do you all think of the proportions and cut of this oec?

Culet is too small for me, makes me think it's closer to a transitional cut?
 
I like the patterning - definitely not a "classic tiny table OEC" but a high crown and pretty organised faceting. Do you have any videos of it in motion?
 
I love the facet pattern! Definitely get videos!
 
Potential! Yummy faceting ❤️ We need videos!
 
Agree with above posters, pics look lovely. Hope you can get a video from the seller.
 
I can’t seem to attach a video file. It is links only for videos?
 
If theres a bit of leakage here would that be a minmor flaw or a deal breaker do you think

Ok uploaded some to youtube so I could share



 
That tiny bit of leakage you circled wouldn’t bother me, but YMMV. In the 3rd video I tried to take a screenshot where about 1/2 of the table facets seem to go dark. I would want to understand this better. If it is obstruction from your camera then no big deal, but if you see that frequently it would bother me; again YMMV.

Are you sure it's leakage vs reflection? Very well cut old Europeans have a reflection pattern in the center that I am sure has a technical term but I will describe as a "pinwheel" shape.

This is a newly cut August Vintage lab grown round. (I picked the lab grown because it has an open culet whereas his mined AVRs generally do not, but the same pattern is in the mined stones)

I think it's a beautiful stone.
 
Lovely facet pattern!
 
I think it’s absolutely gorgeous. I like the contrast and pattern, and that leakage you’re concerned about wouldn’t bother me.
