Hey PS! Sorry for posting again. I asked this previously, but didn't really get a clear answer. As some of my other friends are getting engaged soon as well, i want to be certain whether to recommend them this vendor. To be clear, I am not purchasing this diamond as I already bought mine.
---------------
Here's the story:
I enquired about a diamond from a local vendor and they shipped in the diamond from hong kong. Upon arrival, the scopes they provided me seem different, and when I went down, the h&a photo i took with my phone differs too. I saw this past thread where a similar issue arised... want to make sure the same is not happening here.
>> I understand there are portable aset/ h&a scopes, vs desktop ones... do desktop scopes always look better?
Below are the pics:
Cert:
First set of scope images from vendor (taken from his phone)
From the above pics, i asked them why the h&a has a lack of separation. Few hours later, they sent the desktop scope pictures that look like super ideal cut.
Intrigued, i went down and review the diamond myself. Granted, diamond looks good under jewellery lighting... and i forgot to take an aset picture. Here's the h&a I took, we can see that somehow, its a different portable scope used.
Despite the perfect desktop photos, i decided not to purchase from them due to lingering doubts. But what are your thoughts?
- Are these from the same diamonds? If yes, it is a very well priced SIC cut diamond shortlisted from the floating market
- Or could there potentially be something fishy going on and it's best to advise my friends to stay away?
- Or perhaps its inconclusive from these pics?
Tagging @Karl_K @Garry H (Cut Nut) as yall have both reviewed these images before and shared some insights on them, thank you!
