Hi,

appreciate your opinions on this:

https://zcova.com/mined-diamond/selected-di...9?start=diamond

HCA Score around 1.2.
TBH,

Im surprised about ZCova's service, though as a first time buyer, maybe I have set my expectations to high.

1) Does not provide any ASET/Hearts & Arrow image
2) Does not allow me to view the diamond in person as they explain that these are all in the warehouse
3) States that all their diamonds are guaranteed (double certified) so they dont need them already, and no return policy either if finally bought the diamond but when view in person not so nice.

Overall this diamond looks to have a good cut /proportions, but from my naked eye the hearts and arrows maybe not ideal? What is your opinion?

- It really depends whether their supplier provides them or not. Not all diamonds that are rated as Hearts & Arrows by suppliers are actually as good as those you can see at those vendors such as WhiteFlash or JannPaul.

2) The diamond should be with supplier, not under them, that means it is under Virtual Inventory, to put in more layman terms, it is like pre-order thingy, you want, then they order for you. If you wish to view some diamonds, try to ask if they have any actual diamonds that meet your criteria on-hand.

3) I don't think there is any vendor that can guarantee you that in Malaysia, if you are deeply concerned about this, I would suggest you to visit brick-and-mortar stores that actually provides the real diamonds. You can try to visit JannPaul in Singapore, I have people telling me that their custom cut outperform their usual Hearts & Arrows round brilliant (the standard round).

Yes, this diamond has nice proportions, it should perform well. And yes, you are right about the arrows, so it won't be 100% Hearts & Arrows.

My advice is, try to set a balance between price, cut quality, and expectations. Good thing is, the light performance thingy ZCOVA is using, is actually quite a reputable name in the industry (SARINE). I think even Diamond and Platinum is using it now: https://en.prnasia.com/releases/apac/diamon...ei-292022.shtml, and that is for their Estrella collection (their signature).

So, if you are curious, try to visit Diamond and Platinum to have a look. I think from there, you can roughly gauge what kind of proportions you like personally, since Diamond & Platinum has real stocks on hand.

For a price of around 4400, do you think its a good deal? Or Normal price (as this is the "Promo" price explained by zcova)

Also noticed a few inclusions at the top right, do you think it will be noticeable?
