I did view it under the microscope, can see the shape but since it's already set in the ring I can't see from the bottom for the hearts shape. Can also see the inclusions which is very very minor.
They have their own "ideal cut" diamonds which sparkle more brilliantly than the GIA ones they showed. Or maybe it's the sales talk that made it appear to sparkle
I ended up buying this diamond as I felt it was "right" (no experience, so all pakai feeling)
This diamond is certified by IGI, I did some research and the lab is also quite reputable, not too bad compared to GIA.
Thanks to all for your guidance and sorry for the late reply, just got back from holidays
GIA is one of the facilities grading diamonds and there's no such thing that a diamond "better" than GIA certified diamonds because GIA doesn't churn out diamonds. All these are just talks or "marketing gimmicks" to make their product more appealing. As far as cuts are concerned, triple excellent cut is the best cut money can buy.They have their own "ideal cut" diamonds which sparkle more brilliantly than the GIA ones they showed.

Poh Kong has these Hemera diamonds and they spot 2x the amount of facets which makes them sparkle more than the normal cut diamonds but if i'm not mistaken, these are diamonds are not certified by GIA because they are deemed "abnormal".
i heard from my jeweler friend that these diamonds has no value because no collectors would want them as their are out of the league.
