Is this an OEC or Transitional?

[lavenderdragonfly23]

I’m just starting to learn about old cuts, and am curious if I’m on the right track. It has a pretty big table and it’s not a very deep stone… I’m guessing it’s a later OEC and closer to a Transitional?

Transitional IMO...

62% table does not fall into OEC category to me. Plus its shallow. OECs tend to be deeper in my book.

This is my favorite flavor of old cut!! I would call it a transitional - bigger table, shallower, better symmetry, and smaller culet than typical OECs. Beautiful behavior in that video!

I would call it transitional but most of all I would call it wonderful!

Definitely more of a transitional cut. It’s pretty, but from the video it looks warmer than a K.

Definitely transitional, which I personally prefer to OECs. I think it's amazing

That's a very nice transitional. And it's warm

Transitional and it’s beautiful. I love this particular seller; I have never bought from them before, but they seem to have very competitive prices and are very friendly.

Yes! I’ve purchased from them and they are very friendly, helpful and will entertain offers. Beautiful ring!

Thank you everyone! I was thinking it looked more like a Transitional!

It’s an absolutely beautiful center stone (the setting isn’t my style, so I would be after just the center stone)… and I prefer a warmer stone vs colorless, so the warmth on this one doesn’t bother me in the least. I seem to strongly favor K/L/M over colorless diamonds. I am still trying to figure out what my preference is. I know I prefer old cut’s with bigger facets over a mrb. I know I don’t like to see an overly huge cutlet, fish eyes bother me, and I’m not a huge fan of seeing a rounded edge flower in the center table that I see on some OEC. OMC seem to bother my ocd cause my eye immediately goes to the imperfect shape, and the facets seem too chunky? for my liking if that makes sense. I’m thinking my heart might be one that gravitates towards Transitional stones, vs true old oec’s?

All I know is I’m taking my time while I save, for when that day comes along and I find “the one” cause it’s going in an Erika Winters Margot for my wedding ring. I’ve been married for 20 years and we never got around to buying a ring.

This one is gorgeous though

Hey pretty girl, it’s your future self!

Hang in there, you have so much to learn. You are going to meet some amazing people on here, and guess what?!? In the next 18 months, after a lot of OT, your heart will break over a couple stones you thought were special… and then one day, a stone like no other will appear in your IG messanger and your search will be over. After two years of looking, you will finally find “The One.”

And while this stone is a beautiful tranny (yes, it’s a transitional, it’s about as transitional as a transitional can get, lol), your taste in old cuts will age, like a fine wine. Flora will take your breath away. Yes, Flora is her name (first Georgiana, then Grace, and you settle on Flora… yes, you are still the same ridiculous overthinker, but wait until you SEE why you pick the name Flora), Flora is going to take your breath away.

So hang in there girl!
She’s worth the wait
