Help finding oval center stone

That’s a nice AGS report, the red across the belly is really nice. Can’t wait to see pictures.

Thank you! I take horrible pictures though. I might be putting it in an art deco setting and will try to post pics when I do.

Would you share which site you purchased the oval- trying to be patience.
 
I bought it from Adiamor.It wasn’t an in house diamond but they ordered it for me.

Wow that's awesome! What were you scrolling through that let you find it and see the ags report attached?
 
Nice to have the optical symmetry pics- I was using the gcal cert filter to view the light performances

I used the advanced filters and put in the recommended % for table and depth, and the color,clarity and tcw I was aiming for. It took lots of scrolling but, as @Karl_K told me, they are out there!
 
Been perusing GIA cert ovals seems like a few of them have the AGS report but are $$$
Found this one it’s steep $

@Lynniiee thoughts on this one- & I may get an ASET scope for this project
 
Hmm it looks fine but I think if you're gonna spend the big bucks it might be worth getting a gcal 8x to see how they compare. Been thinking about doing it myself haha - frank darling and adiamor have a filter for them
 
Also super curious how the at home aset compares to that cert one though so either way would be fun for science lol
 
Wow, how did you manage to find a lab diamond with an AGS cert??

Yea- not ordering that AGS report oval from my last post- it's out of my budget and I like the "hunt" of finding a nice oval. So I was using stonealgo algorithm for comparison - irony is the oval you recommended came in with a highest score for quality and price/value so we will see when i have them in front how it comes together. I may include 1 more oval to the mix
 
found this one modified brilliant- funky over exposed and tempted to get it just to see how modified brilliant performs. After watching the 360 a few times see the facets

Round 1:

4.62 E VVS ratio 1.46
It’s probably the nicest one thus far over the past few months but not a 4 main. Haven’t done the ASET yet - not sure if I becoming overly focused on the bow tie… would be interested to hear folks opinions. It will be set to match my eternity band and sit flush so I can wear both on one hand. My ring size 8.25

Oh man always so hard to tell from the stills but it looks beautiful. Do you have any videos you can upload to imgur & share that here?
 
I like it :) You should test it in all kinds of lighting but definitely a good option for an 8 main
 
Interesting, the 5.03 modified brilliant looks just like the 4.03 from the video! Do you notice a difference in the sparkle/have a preference after seeing them both in person?

I think that 4.03 4 main looks woooonderful!! Such a good size & proportion on you too! Doesn't seem to have a dark center like some of the 4 mains I've found. the 5 looks good too from what I can tell!

the 5.03- it is a big stone and doesn’t blow me away…I keep seeing a “windowing” in the quadrants and the size of it might be a bit over the top for me.
The 4.03 does sparkle - from the beginning I liked it. I’m likely keeping the 4.03
 
Great choice - looks like a big winner!

I have one last option coming thursday and then I am likely going to keep my current winner.

Keep me updated with your progress… next step DK to do the setting
 
@Lynniiee what’s your oval status? Update please .

DK is working on the setting now.
 
Hey! I decided to go with one of the overseas vendors reddit recommends because of some tight budget right now. It was half of DKs estimate which hurts because I LOVE DK but I was laid off a month before giving birth so figured I should do the cheaper project for now.

My stone just arrived in China to be set, they wouldn't start the CAD until it arrived for some reason (probably because I wanted the basket to be super molded to the exact stone) but they are starting it as of this morning!

Whats your CAD look like so far!?
 
I also ended up with the 3.03 CT instead of the 3.5. Both were beautiful but that 3 just was perfect and the smaller size felt better for not being self conscious about daily wear for now. Was a really tough decision though because the bigger one was sooo gorgeous haha.

@Lynniiee sounds like you made the right call…
How exciting the project is moving forward- I’m on Reddit too. Sorry to hear about the job that stinks.
This is the latest CAD … diamonds on the band need to be 3/4 eternity. My goal was to have it compliment my wedding band so it can been worn on 1 finger since I don’t wear of jewelry.

I actually sent him my band so we can get the scale correct. And he’ll polish it - it certainly needs it.
Post a pic of your CAD when you get it too.
