What do you guys think between these 2 H&A image?

Re: What do you guys think between these 2 asset image?

im a bit confused.

So you are look at that stone from VC and the stone from JA? If so, what are the stats of the VC one? I dont know the size color or clarity.

And I believe that VC stone is just showing you the hearts and arrows, its not an ASET.

From the info you have on both of them they seem like nice stones, but its hard to make a comparison without the same info on both stones.

Plus, what is the price of both? I know the one on the JA (which i can see sense its not reserved, so reserve it if your considering it, id hate to see it snatched up), but whats the VC one?
 
Thank you for reminding me. I've make necessary change.

are they both 2 ct?
 
The HA view of the VC stone looks ok, but it's not indicative of it's potential light performance. Do you have magnified images of the VC stone? Can he provide you with either ideal scope images or ASET? The JA stone looks fine in my opinion. Have you asked for a gemologist review? What are the dimensions and ct weight of the VC stone?
 
The pic you posted is not a true H&A stone.
 
Yes they are both 2 carat. Isnt the posted image is ideal scope image?

How can the VC one isnt heart and arrow?f_0.jpg
 
Take a look at this stone. See how in the bottom images there a aset along with one like VC gave you? One is about light performance, one is to show you the heartsand arrows. Shows you symmetry.

Id like to see an asset of the vc one just because it looks very nice, numbers seem good, and if its also in budget seems the easier to get your stone and setting from the same place (assuming you're going with VC)
 
I"m sorry I didn't realize that you were looking for a true HA stone. If that is the case then I agree with DF. The reason that the VC wouldn't qualify is because of the hearts image, the hearts need to be uniform and of equal size, you can see from the image that some are larger than others. There also should be minimal cleft in the heart, there is a formula you can use to determine this,but it eludes me at the moment. I'll post you a link to the information. That said, HA is only indicative of the stones physical symmetry, not it's optical performance. That's why it's important to have ideal scope or aset images as well a gemological assessment of the stone. Physical symmetry is important to some people and not for others, most well cut stones will exhibit hearts and arrows through a HA viewer, but that doesn't automatically qualify them as HA stones and it doesn't indicate that they will or won't demonstrate superior light performance.

Anyway, it's possible to have a stone that is both HA and has superior light performance, but it's also possible to purchase a stone that doesn't exhibit HA but does have superior light performance. You need to decide if perfect physical symmetry is important to you, and understand that it isn't necessary for a stone to have it in order for it to be a superior performer. Although the VC stone may not be a true HA stone, I believe it still has potential to be a very beautiful and well performing stone....we just need more information before we can determine that.

This is what I got from the certificate. What I thought earlier was that this picture can replace the ASSET image. But I guess I'm wrong huh?

Anyway, what I meant from this thread isn't really about PERFECT heart and arrow, but which one is better? VC or JA diamond?

From the numbers, I choose VC.
 
The ASET image on the report is a computer generated aset. You can find more information about what that means in this thread.

Both stones look promising in my opinion. Is one better than the other? Based on the information provided it's impossible to say. Beauty is subjective, what appeals to me, won't necessarily appeal to you. The only way to determine which is more appealing to you at this point would be to view them both side by side....which of course isn't always possible. I really don't think that you can make a wrong decision here. I'm assuming that you will be working with VC on the setting? If that's the case and the costs of the two stones are comparable, then I would select the VC stone, it's less complicated to work with a vendor that can provide both the stone and the setting....and truly looks as though it will be a gorgeous stone.
 
Thank you Christina for your insightful comment. Any other comment from others?
 
I agree if you're working with VC and the price is comparable I'd just probably go with VC
 
the VC one looks pretty decent.

Agreed. It looks like a very pretty stone.
 
Those heart and arrows images you posted in your first post are heavily photoshopped, if that matters to you. Much more than the JA images I think.

From a purely proportion perspective both look fine. As in, they are probably beautiful and indistinguishable from one another.

If you want a true H&A stone, or are paying for a true H&A stone, then you need to consider the images more closely to make sure they qualify.
