Hi All,
First time posting!
I'm hoping you can assist with finding the right Oval LGD for me to propose with! I'm based in Australia so unfortunately cannot take advantage of the free returns offered so would love your assistance in finding the perfect stone the first time around!
I've done a lot of research online and these are the following characteristics table and depth percentages (please let me know if otherwise) that are deemed ideal alongside my general preferences for the stone:
Shape: Oval
Carat Size: 2.6 - 2.8
Colour: D - F
Clarity: VS1 - IF
L/W Ratio: 1.42 - 1.48 (She has narrow fingers and loves the elongated look)
Budget: ~$4000USD (Can stretch slightly further for the right stone)
Table: 56% - 62%
Depth: 59% - 63.5%
*Partner really loves the crushed ice/sparkle look*
Websites i've had a look at include:
These are the following ones that I have narrowed down so far, please let me know your thoughts and if you have any other suggestions based on above! I would also love to learn some tips on deciphering videos where the diamond is spinning vertically instead of horizontally as I am only confident in judging based off the latter.
Option 1: 2.71ct E VVS2 (Best sparkle?)
Website: https://www.adiamor.com/Lab-Diamonds/2.71-ct-E-VVS2-Excellent-Cut-Oval-Diamond/D54532424
Report: https://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=1479145474
Concerns: 1. Girdle is Slightly Thick - Thick 2. "Indented Crystal Surface Inclusion" which unfortunately the certificate doesn't show visual location

Report: https://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=7473451430
Concerns: 1. No visual on location of inclusion on certificate

Websites i've had a look at include:
- James Allen - Stones seem to be pricier than competitors
- Adiamor - Have shortlisted a few below
- WhiteFlash - Didn't seem to have many that fit within my criteria
- DistinctiveGem - Large range but found the website super clunky to view multiple diamonds/open multiple tabs (Have emailed for recommendations)
