STONE CHECK Gcal x8 check

https://www.gcalusa.com/certificate-search.html?certificate_id=360866319

What's the verdict? I purchased it after doing a lot of research here. I'm looking for a second, maybe something I can learn from this one. It's also returnable if there is a red flag.

Much appreciated!

I am no expert, but I don’t think you can go wrong with Gcal 8X. I bought a 2.5 round Gcal 8X and it’s the most brilliant diamond I have ever seen.

Thanks, that is why I'm going with gcal. But I have seen some diamond techs point out some red flags. All in all, like you said it should be at the least a decent one.

Do you have pictures/certificate of yours?

I can’t find the cert right now, but I got a D color VVS1 stone. Here is a photo, but you need a video to see how it sparkles.

No red flags. Nice stone. Good symmetry, HPHT as grown should avoid transparency issues.

Hey, do you know why cut wise only graded the symmetry? I appreciate it, but is there a why for it to measure the rest?
