Am I seeing a lot of leakage per the ASET and lightscope?

You''ll never get that perfect idealscope with lots of red and black with very little white, like rounds.
Here''s what mine looks like.

ASET. I have no idea why your ASET looks so "blah".

The leakage at the border of the table is not very nice.
I think that a shallower one and/or a smaller table could help.

 

[Ellen]

Quite a bit of leakage, in the middle and around the edges. I would at least try for a better one myself.

Thanks everyone...this is so frustrating b/c the stone is from GOG and everyone raves about them...not that its a bad stone but I guess I just expected it to be better than that! And this is the only cushion cut they have in my budget right now so I''m a little bummed.

I have a call into Mark at ERD though and they seem to have a MUCH bigger selection....but sometimes this whole thing gets overwhelming....

Actually, I may have spoken too soon. If you go to the diamond through the link below, there is a movie of this diamond comparing it to another cushion of the same size....I didn''t realize it was this diamond they were comparing. DUH!!!

If you have time, take a peek....looks good to me...but of course this is my first diamond ever and they all look pretty to me!

My puter isn''t letting the video play for some reason. At any rate, GOG is a great place, and is widely known for getting great stones. But that doesn''t mean every single one is stellar, especially in fancies.

ERD is known for their cushions, I think it''s great you''re checking them out. Let''s see what they find you first, and don''t stress!

I can''t see the video either. But do check out www.enagagementringsdirect.com as Ellen suggested. Mark is the king of cushions. GOG is great too, just saying while you''re at it, give Mark a call. See what he comes up with.
