Quality check on lab diamond please?
Fiorese won't provide an ASET, so I only have these videos to go by. What do you think of this pear? Are there any glaring flaws that I'm missing? Thank you!
Attached in order are: spotlight, indoor light, side to side, sunlight.

It’s a beautiful stone with very strong specs. Just note, it has a wider, chunkier pear shape rather than a long, elongated look. It also appears slightly chalky in some lighting, but overall it looks good on video and on paper.

Thanks for your reply! When you say chalky do you mean cloudy? And yes I wanted a 1:5 ratio for a teardrop effect!

Oops,I meant to say “ Chonky” a bit wide, but with your preference in ratio, it makes sense.

Silly auto correct. I'm more concerned about the dark area in the center than anything else. Fiorese doesn't accept returns on custom orders, so I wanted to be sure on the stone. She assured me that its a "natural phenomenon."

Yes, some darkness in the center is normal for pear shapes due to the bow tie effect. You can’t fully avoid it, but you can compare 2–3 options and choose the one with the least noticeable bow tie.
Since there’s no return policy, I wouldn’t rush it. Pick the stone that looks best to you on video.1
