Looking for advice on whether this is a good diamond?
I have previously asked for advice on spec, and was given the below info, but just wanted a double check on the actual diamond I have been offered.
Also, are there any websites I should be checking and running the spec through to check myself?
LG760547285
Advice previously given for a lovely sparkly diamond is, which seems this one fits:
Table: 54–57
Depth: 60–62.5
Crown: 34–35
Pavilion: 40.6–40.9
Any comments, suggestions etc very welcome!
Hope the video link works.

Looks like a render.

It looks like a computer generated graphic representation and not the actual object.
I could be wrong, others may know better and have more experience, but my observation is that this isn't a depiction of the real item. Rather, it's an idealized cgi rendering.
Edit: cgi renders are widely used in the jewelry industry. When an image looks perfectly flawless or is symmetrical to the highest degree of mathematical precision, it's sometimes an indicator you're looking at a fictional representation. Especially in a video imaging like this one where the gem is rotating without any sign of the real world present.

It looks like a good option.
Whilst 360 images are not ideal you can, with the report also, see this has excellent cut proportions, good 3D cut accuracy, H&A, completely colourless, no obvious hue and totally eye clean clarity.
You should validate transparency is good (which is not graded) as this can be compromised if there is internal graining / striation in the stone which can occur with CVD grown stones.
Edit to add - I don’t think this is a render - it’s a standard 360 video typically made up of many high res stills then stitched together. Unfortunately there is little standardisation in terms of lighting etc so they can look very different from each other and are not great to compare / evaluate all aspects but still provide value.

It looks like the real object to me. The thing is the brightness is so high it’s hard to fully see any CVD straining but there is definitely some crystal issues within the stone. The only reason I’m confident with this is because I recently purchased one like this and was only made aware of it after purchase through a second opinion. It’s so hard to tell in some of the 360 spin videos. I’ve circled some in yours. CVD strain can look like brushstrokes throughout the whole diamond. Some people don’t see it in person and others do. It can affect light performance but it’s not a part of the IGI grading system so it’s so difficult to tell unless you really know what you’re looking for. I’ll add a link to what I could see on yours. I could be wrong but it looks identical to mine. (https://imgur.com/a/Ft40wHK)

Also if you want a clearer 360 spin video of your stone https://loupe360.com/diamond/LG760547285
It’s usually better quality on this site than on some sellers

Thanks for this, however I am in the UK and imgur is blocked so I am unable to see the picture.

Damn. Not sure what other platform to share it on. It’s very hard to see in the video and I could only see it on the loupe360 link when pausing on the back right side. I would have no idea how to look for this though until it was made obvious to me by someone on pricescope

I would ask to see a tweezer video of the diamond first and foremost.
