First, thank you everyone for so much help. I''m really sold on the value of an outstanding cut for a ring and here is my latest contender. I would again appreciate some opinions.
2.54 Carat, G, VS2, GIA EX-EX-EX.
GIA Comments: Additional Pinpoints not shown
60.8% depth, 57% table, 34.5° crown angle, 40.8° pavilion angle = 1.3 HCA
Light Return Excellent; Fire Excellent; Scintillation Excellent; Spread or diameter for weight Very Good
Total Visual Performance 1.3 - Excellent
Learning a bit more about obstruction issues, do the ASET "paddles" or the darker features in the photo suggest any potential normal-viewing disappointment? If so, does the Idealscope help or hurt? But any comments will be greatly appreciated, so thanks.
