Does anyone have a video of a 4 main oval?

Trying to choose a stone and love the look of the 4 main on 360s but I’ve never actually seen a video of one. Does anyone happen to have a video of a 4 main oval?
 
Have you been able to find any 4 main lab ovals? I find them very rare...cant remember the last time I saw a lab one.

I did figure out that a lot of earth grown 4 main ovals tend to be on the shallower side. Perhaps the abundance
of lab material is the reason why they dont cut as many 4 main labs.

I cant think of anyone that owns a 4 main off the top of my head...wish I could!
 
@tyty333 I've found two stunners I'm deciding between right now - never seen a 360 look so sparkly so I think I have to add one in person. It really seems like the bowtie looks less noticeable from this 360 so I'm so curious.

Any thoughts between these two options? I'm leaning towards the 3.51 because of the slightly smaller face up size is right on target with the sweet spot I found for my finger coverage, but the rep recommended the D 3.5 so I'm split
..



The depth of the 3.5 seemed a little shallow but they both seem to sparkle the same on the 360 so not sure if I should be worried about the proportions

Are you asking about a DZ or a fancy color sample? Usually, an oval shape with four main pavilion facets is used for fancy color diamonds. See the example at the link below.

I also see them earth mined @Serg . Like I said, typically with shallower depths. They usually have the plain 4 main
pavilion...not like the fancy pavilion on that colored stone you posted. Very pretty BTW.

I believe @Lynniiee is looking for a home-made video of a 4-main in the colorless range (more or less) to get a real-life
view.

Wow @Lynniiee ...both those stones look really nice! I definitely think, (at least for comparison's sake), you should see one
in person.

No, with fancies, you don't need to worry too much about the numbers. Please do post a video and your opinion once you
receive the 3.5. I'll look for it over on the lab forum!

@Lynniiee What is 360s?

Before asking I first did a search ...

These websites were not a feasible answer:
www.360s.com
www.360s.org
WWW.360s.gov
WWW.360s.edu

Haha...poor Kenny...you went down a rabbit hole and got nowhere close!

She means the 360-degree up-close videos of stones. She wants a video at a distance. A real-life perspective...

I applauded you on your attempt, though!

Thanks.
So, you mean the diamond is rotating completely around, like on Whiteflash's videos?
Though I wouldn't call those 'at a distance'.
They're very close up.
The sharpness/resolution of Whiteflash's videos is so good I know they used a true macro lens.

I have a video of my oval in a setting. I’ll see if I can find it. I think it’s a 4 main
 
Haha yes, I meant the 360 degree videos like the ones from loupe360 I linked above! I love the look in these close ups but am having a lot of trouble finding a video of a 4 main in real life.

I ended up buying that 3.51 in the second link and am stoked to see it. It's a bit daunting to buy a lesser seen oval cut but I think it might be exactly what I'm looking for and those 360s are super promising on this ones light return!

I'm a bit heartbroken because my one last other option was the best 360 I've ever seen on an 8 main got snagged just before I got the chance to buy it... Hopefully it's just fate and this 4 main is what is meant to be.

@Scon_ce that would be fantastic, thank you so much!

She is saying she likes the look of a 4 main in the 360 videos (which are close up), and would like to see
a video of one at a distance...a real life perspective if you will.

Hopefully, @Scon_ce can provide one.
 
Would love to see a 6 main too out of curiosity if anyone has one!
 
Oh wow thank you so much! She's gorgeous, love the side stones!

Thanks :)
It is 1.51 ct, I color, VS1, and I believe the LW ratio is 1.34.

@tyty333 Same ring as I asked about w/ the video before, just a better pic, do you think this is a 4 main? Obsessed with this girls ring

I feel like it’s gotta be!
another (worse quality vid) while I wait for the owner to respond
 
Yes, I do think it is a 4 main. Here is what I'm seeing....see green outline

(I have been fooled a time or two, though!)

Ooh yay that makes me hopeful I'm going to love this stone on the way then!

I think you are on to something with the 4 main. Both of these guys are gorgeous

I really can't wait for it to arrive! Will definitely share when it does.

Also update that the owner of the previous stone I linked also didn't know what the cut was but I'm pretty convinced it was a 4 main

Please do keep posted. Where did you purchase it from?
