Hi everyone,
This is my first foray into the realm of fancy colour diamonds, so I thought I'd turn once again to the amazing and knowlegeable Pricescope community for feedback. I'm currently looking at a fancy pink VS2 marquise with no flourescence, around 0.5ct. I've been told that the colour is a true pure pink and that the cutting is really well done for a marquise, with no bow-tie effect. I've attached a link to a set of Imgur videos of the marquise and some other pinks I was considering at the end of this post. (This is my first time attempting to do this on imgur, so I hope it works!)

I know there's a few Pricescopers who know quite a bit about fancy colour diamonds, so I was hoping to ask for some feedback on this particular marquise. I was also wondering if there's anything in particular I should look out for or consider before purchasing a pink diamond. I live in Australia and this marquise is in the US; I won't have a chance to see it before purchasing, so I want to make sure I do all my homework and have no regrets.
The only aspect of this marquise that I'm really umming and ahhing over are the grey areas that pop up on the edges of the diamond when it's tilted. These appear to be more noticeable in flat lighting (and it's most evident in the 2nd video on Imgur), and I was wondering if this is normal for fancy colour diamonds, as a lot of the other pinks I've seen on Leibish and other websites also seem to have patches of grey, to some degree, especially the marquise shapes. However, I've also seen videos of stones that don't appear to exibit any grey patches/shadows, and these are usually the cushions and radiants. Does anyone know why this is happening, and do you think its prominent enough to detract from the overall appearance of this stone? I'm generally very picky about my gemstone and jewellery purchases, and once I saw the darker patches in the video, it's hard to unsee them.

Thank you!
