I have been reading posts on here for almost a year and have decided to take many of your recommendations and buy from DCD.

Here is the diamond I am considering:

1.01 ct oval cut SI1, E
Depth- 62.6%
Table- 56%
Girdle- Thin to medium faceted
Culet- None
Polish- very good
Symmetry- good

The dimensions are 7.9 x 5.51 x 3.45

I have been told that it is a good looking stone with very little if any bowtie. The cash price is $4,329. All opinions are welcome.

Thanks in advance

make sure no fluoroscence.
again this is personal, but marquise sparkles much better than oval- but this is a matter of choice.
i think it is a decent price.

It sounds good on paper. I love ovals, very classy and elegant and sparkle just as much as any other fancy shape when well cut. Up to a medium fluorescence will probably make no difference.

be careful with fluoroscence when the colour is high like yours(E).
it is good to have fluoroscence when colour is below J

Actually, you might want to do a little research on fluorescence. It's generally not a bad thing, and can be a good thing. Mostly, it's a personal preference, and I'd only worry if it were very strong and made the stone look milky. That's actually very rare.

Medium fluorescence should not have any negative impact on the stone.

Wish I could help you more, but I know nothing about oval cuts... Hopefully someone more knowledgeable about them will chime in soon.

I don't know much.

When I was looking at RB stones, I found florescence pushed the price significantly down.

Blueman, can you elaborate on what you mean by "significant"?
