It scores a .7 on the cut advisor, which is excellent. Price is pretty much in line with online prices. Can you get an idealscope image?

Jazmine,
How would I go about getting an idealscope image. Is that something I can ask the jeweler to provide me?
Thanks for the response!

 

[jaz464]

Yes you can ask for it. Is this an online stone?

I dont care for the 40.4 pavilion angle. 35 isnt a high enough crown to make up for it.
If you have good eyesight this stone may not look that great in some lighting when viewed from up close.
The 85% lower halfs will help somewhat but its one of those stones that has to be seen to judge it.

Thanks everyone. I will consider your thoughts when comparing this diamond to others. Anyone else with an opinion? it all really helps.

WOW! How does buying from the internet work? What is the return policy? .7 on the HCA...that is suppose to be impressive. Right?

 

[JulieN]

I got 1.8 HCA. It looks like a very nice stone.

Anything under two is good.

Internet decision-making: you find a stone that has under 2 HCA. Then ask for Ideal Scope picture.
