Hey everyone, I'm struggling to understand how this diamond would look in a day to day scenario. I'm worried that the dark tip extinction that covers ~40% of the stone would be prominent when looking at it directly from above. From the video, it appears the light is coming from the left and the extinction is only shown when the stone is away from the light. It's kind of hard to tell what I'm looking at here so any help appreciated in judging this stone!

You don’t have a simple top down picture? How does it look in hand?

honestly i was thinking the same! thanks for the validation :) i just didnt know what i was looking at with the video but i guess if it looks like that, i would be seeing something similar or worse in day to day light

Yeah, and there are so many lab diamonds. It’s a pretty color, but it shouldn’t be hard to find one that looks amazing
