Help with Oval 2ct - UK

[unknown31876]

I would like some help with an oval diamond I am choosing. It is going to be set on a yellow gold band and therefore I believe the colour is less important. I am not necessarily after VVS2 - it was just one of the only ones I could find without a huge "bow tie".

The price is £15k (inc. VAT)

Wondering if I have missed anything obvious.

Thanks

Can you put it on hold and provide a link so we can see the stone rotating?

One feature I do not like in ovals are bow ties. I agree with @tyty333 you need to see the oval in action to see if it has potential.

Looks promising! I am not an oval expert though but to my eyes it is super pretty from that video.
Are you good with the I color? Ovals show color more easily than rounds I think. Make sure you are A OK with it.

How noticeable do you think I colour will be given it’s in a yellow gold band?

Gosh, that's so subjective and impossible to answer. You have to see it in person and decide what you think. Blue Nile has a good return policy right? I mean I think it has potential if you are good with the I color. I notice color but I don't dislike it in certain cuts. I have a J OEC and I love it. For an MRB I need a G or higher in color. I never had an oval before but I think it might show color more easily than a round but again you have to judge it in person. I love that I do not see a bow tie in this oval and love the shape. I think it is worth seeing in person if you love it from the video.

Thanks and I agree - 30 day return so I can always change my mind! Thanks for the help

That stone looks pretty nice to my eyes - the central band of facets are interesting to look at, the 'crushed ice' facets are working pretty well, and it only 'windows' (goes see through) at extreme tilt angles in the video (which a lot of them do).

As you say, you can assess it at home and see what you think - I hope you like it and it's a keeper! but don't be afraid to send it back if it doesn't sing to you every time you look at it, as there are always new stones coming to the market and you can always buy another
