So, wonder what you can get from Virtual Inventory? You can get pretty good stone like the one below...
BUT in very limited quantities! I bought this stone directly from India supplier and intended to sell it for RM 4,900 initially. Now, let me think about it.
Here you go
(please ignore the captured date, I did not calibrate the microscope):
 |
| Nice IdealScope |
 |
| Nice ASET, with weaker light return at one of the edge (green), but again, much much better than your typical Virtual Inventory stones. |
 |
| Near Hearts & Arrows, with some penalty on a few Hearts that exhibit some tiny bent tip. And some jewellers are selling these as true Hearts & Arrows. If we loosen up a bit, then we can pass this as true Hearts & Arrows. Anyway, there is no true Hearts & Arrows in this world, it really depends how well you zoom into the diamond. It is a matter of who possess the best cut quality. |
At such precision, it is safe to say that this diamond beats most Virtual Inventory diamonds out of the water. Despite being near Hearts & Arrows, I would safely say that this diamond will fall under
Expert Selection of WhiteFlash. Of course, this is just my prediction. What I really like about this diamond is the amount of light return it is giving back to the observer. Such IdealScope and ASET is hard to get. Most diamonds, due to lack of cut quality, will make the IdealScope and ASET will be not as nice.
Overall, I would say diamonds like these are the value buy considering price and performance. I cherry pick this diamond based on proportions as well as cut precision. The proportions I aiming for will be within
ACA specifications or simply close enough to
the real ideal cut.
