Is this a great OEC? K VS2 with medium fluorescence

It's not a bad one, but I wouldn't say how beautiful it is until seeing it in person. Is there a return period? I would not commit to any OEC without one.
 
Diamond Zone offers a return period. I think it looks promising, but remember the color is probably at least a grade lower than GA.
 
Thank you LLJsMom & DS for the reply. Both of your OECs are so drool worthy!

I am located in Canada, so unfortunately shipping stones to and fro is not viable. Hence I am looking to your expert opinions to get the stone and setting in one shot. You think it is too risky to buy an OEC unseen or can I trust MDZ to pick a nice one?
 
I've been eying that stone bc of the facet pattern and fluoro combo. Ask MDZ for a video of it if you haven't already.
 
No I wouldn't take the risk. I also have never worked with diamond zone. So you may not want to rely on my comments. I would work with Adam at old world diamonds or Grace at jewels by Grace. I have worked with both of them and completely trust their eye on finding a beautiful OEC. BUT, I still would not buy from them if they did not have a return policy. That's just how I am as a diamond buyer. For me, it's too much money, be $2k or $20k, to not have a final power of veto. Good luck!!
 
Good points. Thank you all for the advice!
 
I wonder if there are any PSers in the Chicago area that could check it out for you? It certainly looks
to have potential.
 
Thanks. Yes that would have been awesome! Any volunteers? Lol
 
Lol! That is a great idea! I could take a vacation and check out the stone at the same time
 
Pardon my ignorance. Who is Haven?

I got another video of two diamonds that I am considering. I am inclined to go with the bigger one. Am I reading the video correctly?
 
Yes the bigger one. The smaller one has some darkness at around 10 o'clock.
 
Thank you LLJsMom. I shall put it on hold. Now onto settings. Need to peruse the numerous threads for pictures :)
 
Ooh yeah the 1.34 has lovely outer 'petals' on the edge of the stone. Are you thinking solitaire, bezel or halo for the setting?
 
I was thinking of flowery vintage setting in a non round halo. Still trying to draw some inspiration here ... Any advice would be much appreciated.
