Either of these worth considering? Oval and Radiant

[iota]

I ordered the IS from James Allen for the oval and radiant shown below. I don''t know how to post pictures of the diamonds from JA''s site, so here are the links:


Radiant - 1.6 ct. G SI1.

Oval - 1.52 ct. G VS2.

Anyways, based on what you see, are either of these worth considering further?


(I REALLLY wished JA had Aset images.)

The Oval.

I like the oval better. And the spread is great at 9 x 6.

Ask them to pull these two for you as well. And to TELL you, when looking at them side by side with their eyes (see if you can get James himself to do this for you) , which one they think is the brightest and pretiest of the three.

And this one has promise too: http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/F-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Oval-Diamond-1217976.asp but I'm not sure of your budget.

Ditto Gypsy and I particularly like the look of the third one she selected! Just check with JA also if any of these ovals show a visible bow tie, you can''t always eliminate them altogether but it is always best to check to what extent these shapes show this effect.
