It is a lovely stone!! No worries there at all, gorgeous cut, and a J colour should present itself beautifully. I will just add the link here so Ellen can see it.

As to the bluish arrows, that may be a result of the lighting or photography, the staff at GOG should be able to advise you, but this isn't how the diamond will look in real life conditions. With the J colour, there are many happy J owners here, you can't judge colour accurately from a computer monitor, but Jon does have a return policy in case you bought it and weren't happy. The best thing may be if you can see some similarly sized, well cut and lab graded diamonds in person, as colour perception can vary. I will add a thread where you can see some J stones as an example, just remember you can't judge colour properly in this way, but it may give you some idea.

Here is the thread. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/j-color-stones-in-platinum.24731/

Wowzers, gorgimous stone! No worries there as far as cut.

And a well cut J is not going to show color like a mall store J. If you feel you need to see some representation, as Lorelei suggested, try to look at some Hearts on Fire. They are a good cut, and will give you a better idea.


p.s. Fanks friend!

Just a comment on the bluish arrows in those particular pix ...

At the distance we place the camera from the front of the diamond ... pavilion mains with angles at around the 41.0 degree zone will capture a mixture of the suffuse light that we take the picture in and the reflection of the lens. Pavilion angles more around the 40.6-40.8 range will show more camera reflection in the mains making them darker/black.

This does in a sense correlate to observation but as Lorelei correctly pointed out, the photograph doesn''t correlate precisely to human observation as most internet photography doesn''t. Interestingly enough we just shot a video comparing a 34.16/41.07 with 79% lgf''s alongside a 34.6/40.7 with 75% lgfs and we were able to capture more head/body obstruction in the shallower angled stone although both were gorgeous.

Peace,

YUM. I love when I see perfect perfect symmetry like that!

It''s a pleasure.

I remember when we started featuring Isee2''s with 41.0 and that effect on the photography. I''m such a geek I like to know exactly what causes what on which thingy.

Thats awesome info Jon thankyou!
Funnily enough, the difference between the stones with the blue or black arrows had me wondering the same thing today - what causes it? And thats when I posted my thread about the arrows - you''ve gone partway to answering my Q without even meaning to!
