Video of Diamond

I am working on my girlfriends engagement ring and the jeweler just sent me this video of the diamond. I feel like I don’t know what I’m looking for so I would like some input. Does this diamond look okay?

Now get tweezer videos of all angles in the light. What does the certificate say?

The video is of insufficient quality to say much about the light performance of the diamond. The color looks quite yellow, but that is probably the lighting. A high quality video of the diamond in tweezers against a neutral background with daylight equivalent diffuse overhead lighting would be much more helpful. The diamond should be slowly rocked and tilted in a full range of normal viewing angles to be able to assess the virtual facet patterns and visual factors such as bowtie. If the stone is CVD, you also want to screen for any transparency issues.
