Too Much Leakage Through Pavillion?

[DiamondNYC]

Have been reading up on material here and getting better informed about diamonds over the last month. Yekutiel at IDJ helped find this 2.80 VS2 F for me. Color and clarity are great and the ~$46k price seems very competitive vs what I've seen from searching whiteflash/other online vendors. The idealscope / cut seem like they're leaking a bit and the symmetry isn't as perfect. Hoping to get a second opinion on the idealscope images & an opinion on if how noticeable the difference between this cut & a perfect "ideal". Yekutiel is looking for some other diamonds with better cuts, but thinks this is a great value for what I'm looking for (~3 carat, ~$50k, Amazing Cut, F-G, VS1-VS2).

Thanks for all the help and thanks for being part of such an informative community - it's been very helpful to educate myself in what can seem like a opaque process!

What are the specs on the stone?

Have you seen this one...Super Ideal Branded ACA...AGS000, H&A (just saying, if I had your budget). The wire price is only $1.7k more. At this size stone I would stay its way worth it.

See if he can get some real images.

I had attached the GIA report as PDF (not sure it went through), but it is a 56 table, 62.3 depth, 36 crown, 40.6 pav angle.

As far as Whiteflash, I had looked at their online inventory & was a bit worried about the G color in AGS showing up as warm in that size.

I'm sure I could have IDJ work on finding a better cut if it'll actually make a noticeable difference vs the one he showed me.

Those were the images he took when we looked at the diamond today - photographed all at the same time w/ his idealscope / aset equipment.

No worries there - an AGS G color stone is fabulously white! The difference in price is also accounted for by a super ideal cut stone vs. an ideal cut stone.

Be as worried about an AGS G as you would be about a GIA G. For the vast majority G is plenty white

A 'G' colour showing up as yellow?! If it's an ideal ACA cut, you could put an 'I' next to a diamond in the colourless range, face up in natural sunlight, mounted in a ring and see if anybody can tell the difference. Real world is different to face down, on a piece of white card next to a calibration master stone. I wouldn't have thought AGS vs GIA colour gradings were that much different and online commentary is variable. It may just be they're looking at a low 'colour A' vs a high 'colour B' from either grader.

The ASET suggests at 10 o'clock, there's something not quite right and if it had been a whiteflash stone, maybe an expert rather than 'a cut above' grade? Others who know what they're talking about will be able to chime in.

My apologies then, and my compliments to the vendor on the dialed in photo set up.
