Have you seen these diamonds in person? On paper they're not what we would normally recommend. Are you located in the U.S.?

Yes I tried them in person. I’m located in the US but in India for some work. Posting a pic! Can you be more specific on the issues with the pair. They are priced at $11500

The first stone's specs appear to be good, but the second one has proportions that don't work well together. You can use the HCA tool to help weed out stones with poor proportions. Both stones are a 60/60 style cut, which means they favor white light over colored light return. The second one will also have a flat, pancake-like profile which is not usually considered attractive.

IGI is not as well-regarded here as GIA or AGS due to being more lax on grading, so an H SI2 may in fact be 1-2 color and clarity grades lower. Do you see any visible inclusions or obvious tint?
