Are you ok with EGL Israel?  Some experts say their grading may not be accurate in some cases.









Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be...

Yes - I know the background on EGL-Israel. I've narrowed it down to these 2. Thx!

No worries.  They are both shaped quite differently, have you seen either in person and which one do you like best?

Yes I've seen them - The 1.84 has more yellow to it (it's already set), but the 2.04 has a noticible bow-tie (which I think I'm struggling with). They are both pretty. I'm just kinda stuck!

Shelby, my best advice is to say don't settle!  There are lots of ovals out there, it can be challenging to find one which ticks all your boxes, but you WILL find the right one if you keep looking. Personally from what I can see, I think you can do better.  You want a diamond which makes your heart sing, one which you are excited about the prospect of buying, don't cheat yourself of that experience if either of these diamonds cause you to have doubts.  You will have the diamond a long time, you don't want to spend that time regretting your purchase, that is no fun.
