Hello All,
After doing a decent amount of research, I've been able to figure out how to tell whether an Idealscope or ASET image is acceptable, but I'm having a harder time determining which images are better from within the category of acceptable images.
Hopefully, you guys can provide some feedback regarding the performance of a couple of diamonds that I'm considering purchasing. Where in the range of performance do these stones appear to rank (are they elite performers within the EX cut category, or are they merely on par with most EX cuts?), and which of these options has better light performance based on the following images? Thanks in advance for your help! Both diamonds are GIA XXX and have HCA scores below 2.
