Bow tie? Is this a nice oval Diamond?

[freddyboston]

@freddyboston
Have you heard of White Lily vendor thru Rare Carat? I received email this morning saying stone that I purchased Friday wasn’t available. I’ve tried finding this vendor without luck.. wondering if they even exist.

i think those are made up names.. when they started they would refer/list diamonds compare prices at multiple online vendors.... then they switched from that model (commission/affiliate)l to direct retail sales.

just a wild idea but if you are in the US and have a few weeks time horizon might be fun to take a peak at this one.... if if no good just return it 30 day refund....

Those crystal inclusions may or may not be easy to see in real life but would give you an idea of your clarity tolerance - also you could see if you like / don't like FL....
4 mains are rare but some people prefer the bold larger flashes look vs more common sparkly small crushed ice....

to me this a beautiful natural diamond... esp nowadays w/ everyone rocking copycat D VVS inerts... good to be little diff/unique.

@TLW Why are you trying to find them? Most stones are sold virtually through many different vendors.
So, depending on how often they update their database to reflect sold stones, you may end up "buying" one that has already been
sold.

I think they look good. That last one is a bit odd (the faceting pattern). Would like to see a pic/video of that stone. Well, actually
would like to see pic/video of all of them, but in general, they all look good IMO.

Would the first be the best of the bunch? I’m afraid to post links as I’m not sure if on hold or not..

 

[tyty333]

I hear ya about posting links...I think you're at the level where it's difficult to pick the best out of the bunch without more
info. Hopefully, we can get @Garry or @Karl_K to comment on the Aset images.

Edit...I think 1-3 all have potential. I'm questionable about number 4 just because it looks odd but it may be ok too.

I am trying to get additional imagery of the first that I think I prefer- it’s between the first aset image posted, and the third which I’ve just posted actual Diamond videos.

 

[tyty333]

Yes, I would have thought #2 would be ok, but not liking it so much in the videos.

That's why you have to have all the info/specs/pics/videos/images. One piece of the puzzle is just not enough.

The actual Diamond videos are of aset image 3

What do you not like in the actual videos- trying to understand

 

[tyty333]

My answer is the same...I would have thought #3 would be ok.

I don't like the darkness through the center. Places I thought would light up arent lighting up.

May be the lighting they are using for the videos. They don't look like they are under bright lights to me, though.

Again, lets see if we @Karl_K or @Garry H (Cut Nut) to comment.

very nice ~ 4 mains
says off market/pending - did you reserve it or did it get poached by a lurker

I have it reserved, waiting for more images- does it seem too dark in center?

I posted the tweezer video above what did you think of darkness in center?

darkness may be situational....
in direct light it reflects back bright....

 

[tyty333]

Ditto freddyboston...I think its the lighting causing the X to be dark. In other words, in normal lighting conditions, it will be bright.

It (the center) will most likely go dark in bright outdoor lighting (just like a well-cut round brilliant).

I think best bet is to just relax and continue with the order - have them set it and then check it out real world once you receive... and if you can present to the recipient without delay you can use the most of the 30 days review period to make sure it's what you / they like....

ovals are tricky so many variables you'll want use the time to make sure its performing as you like...

I did order it,
Still doubting the aset
Here is another they sent with white background

 

[tyty333]

This is an ideal scope image...it looks good. All the red/green from the aset image should be red (or some shade of it) in this image.
The white/gray is leakage. Pretty minimal if you ask me.

[freddyboston]

that I Scope is about right for a very nice Oval.... (i think you got a good one)
only way to avoid leakage is w/ Proprietary cut....
personally i'm not a fan - they look like deformed rounds plus they are expensive...
