Hi

I am looking at this diamond

1.21 ct, F, SI1, GIA3X, VSB Fluor, HCA 1.5

The vendor provided me with a picture and its ASET scope image, but doesn't have the idealscope image.

Can the experts here help take a look at the images and let me know if the diamond is alright?

Are there anything else that I should check for? I have asked about cloudiness from the very strong fluor, waiting to hear back.

It's priced at about $7500.

These are the stats:
Length:6.77
Width:6.81
Depth:4.23
Total Depth:62.3%
Table percent:57
Crown height:15.5
Girdle (from):Medium
Girdle (to):Slightly thick
Polish:Excellent / Very Good
Symmetry:Excellent / Very Good
Crown angle:35.5
Pavilion depth:40.6


Using the AGA/NAJA cut class tool:
Tab Percent: 1A
Crown Angle: 2A
Crown Height: 1A
Pavilion Depth: 3B
Girdle: 1A
Depth: 1A
Polish: 1A

TotalGrade: 3A

Thanks a lot!
 
Hi uclu,

This is a very well cut diamond, it's not cut to Superideal standards but it is definitely cut to a very high level and could be a beautiful diamond, it depends what you are looking for. That you have checked the VSB isn't an issue will be a deciding factor, but you have that in hand. Also ensure it is eye clean to your standards also by checking with the vendor, if the above get a favourable report, then it is definitely worth serious consideration for purchase.
 
Thanks Lorelei!

Out of interest, does an ASET scope image supercede an ideal scope image? Like if the ASET scope checks out, it's a guarantee of performance and other cut grades are no longer relevant?

Also, the ASET scope for this particular stone is alright right? I see mostly red with some blue and green at the usual place, and minimal white. Does the distribution of exactly where these colours are matter?
 
Bump, can anyone help regarding the ASET scope? Thanks!
