The deal with oval diamonds is that shallow ones can look amazing.
This one is on the deep side...

Bottom of that cert: this would probably be called 'I1' and a lower color grade by higher brow labs. The diamond is what it is regardless of 'paper', but the inflated grades may make it sound like a 'god deal' - or at least this is the idea as far as I can tell

Shape and cut: Oval Shape Brilliant Cut
measurements: 9.63X6.44x4.23
Weight: 1.75 ct.

depth: 65.7%
Table: 61 %

That's allot of girdle! And yeah... maybe it makes this one be less large by a hair than other ovals of similar weight.

Culet: none
Polish: Good
Symmetry: Good
Clarity Grade SI2 ( I see 3 spots and feather on the drawing in the table of the diamond. )
Color Grade: Near colorless H
fluorescence: none

Sorry to Hear about the detective work. Shouldn't sellers' make it easy to appreciate their goods?

Given the IGI story, I might feel better about something like this:

Weight: 1.52cts
Size: 9.25x6.65x3.98 (about the same size!... despite the weight difference).
Lab report: GIA
Grades: H-VS2
Price: about $6500 listed by several sellers

Depth: 59.8
Table: 54
Girdle: thin-slightly thick , faceted
Symmetry: good
Polish: very good
Culet: none

Fluorescence: strong (ok... this needs to be seen, but you will find other fans of fluorescence around here.)
