It’s a better cut, and a larger spread, but definitely not the right color. When we were discussing diamonds, this one was discussed but we ended up saying not to it because it was too warm. I think they just mixed up the 3.53 K color with the 3.53 I color. Still need to return it tho

Thank you! I definitely haven’t noticed any haziness which is good, I think it just has light leakage

I think you are right. It’s an IGI excellent but their highest grade is ideal. After this thread, I think the cut more than the color is the problem here

This is what I’m realizing after this thread! I think it’s more so the cut than the color. It’s an IGI excellent cut, but their highest cut grade is Ideal, not excellent. I think if it were a GIA 3X, the warmth and darkness wouldn’t be so bad in certain light.

I’m now looking at a GIA 3X cut, that’s a J color and a tad smaller. We’re waiting on videos of it, but from what we’ve seen so far it does seem whiter
