Hi all, below are all 9 excellent cut CanadaMark diamonds currently in the market within my carat/color/clarity/price range (Canadian diamond is a must for us).

The first or last option. My favorite is the first, by far

The first or last option. My favorite is the first, by far

Regarding the first option, are you scared at all by the black inclusion in table?

Also, what's your thoughts on the two 1.25s? Seems like their ASET/IdealScope images are somewhat comparable to your favorites.

 

[lovedogs]

I dont like either of the 1.25s. Their ASET/IS arent as clean, and I think the 36 crown angle is causing leakage for both.

I personally wouldnt be scared of the inclusion in the 1st option, because if you zoom out to how small the stone will be IRL then (to me) its fine. But I know people are sometimes much more sensitive to clarity than I am.

OK, and what about the two stones that didn't have ASET/IS (1.18 F VVS2 and 1.2 G VS1)? Any potential for those two?

Both have 36 degree crowns, so I would again be concerned about leakage, especially without an ASET/IS.

So even if ASET/IS looks pretty red, you would avoid 36 degree crowns? I was under the impression that ASET/IS trumps everything.

Regarding the last option, do you think the arrows are a bit chunky?

Yeah, they are chunkier than most, but I personally like that. But I do prefer the first one.

It does trump everything, but many of the ASETs/IS images arent great and show leakage and/or other weirdness

And just to confirm, leakage is absence of color/black areas? And the weirdness you refer to, would that be the asymmetry in the colors?
