my 2 cents, having not seen a ton of ovals in person:
if you'd rather not have an oval, let go. if you want an oval, keep. i don't know if there are ovals out there with great performance that don't have the depth issue. hopefully some oval experts will chime in. It looks like a great size on your finger.
You got that 6 ct Opulence oval?? You lucky duck!! I've seen that baby in the flesh and IT. IS. WOW!!
I'd keep it. Ovals go dead looking pretty easily. But ones like this are...
For what it's worth, the oval looks markedly larger than your round. What a pair of diamonds to own! Have you thought about a halo? Ovals with halos are just beyond. Alternately, half moons then tapered baguettes for extra width? I mean, this girl would look amazing in a hessian sack!!
I'm not sure what you are missing in face-up size... it looks very substantial in size from my perspective. It also looks amazing on your hand. I love the visual of the table size and the crown size. I'm not even a huge oval fan and that one is really appealing to me. Just my input. You need to be happy (thrilled!) with it. Do you love how it looks on you? Forget numbers and measurements... do you like how it looks? Do you like how it performs? To me, that should be what weighs into your decision. I just read the carat size... with 6 carats I think you can have some weight in the depth and it not impact the perceived size of the diamond!!! Please try to get more photos... I want to see, it's really pretty!
I have a 1.53 AV oval, so I'm biased. It's the most awesome oval I've ever seen. That one looks AMAZING on your hand!!
Personally, I wouldn't halo it. I just think it will be too big. I think it is so exceptional on its own why take anything away from that! But just my opinion. You certainly cannot go wrong either way!!!
Wow, it's a fantastic and extremely rare stone! I'd rather have an outstanding cut that faces up a little smaller than almost any ordinary oval, because generally, they basically never approach the light return of an ideal cut round. It definitely looks larger than your round, which is also gorgeous! I think it would look fantastic in a delicate Victor Canera Emilya setting, maybe the split shank version!
I'm a little startled at the depth after comparing it to other August Vintage ovals- nearly, or in some cases over, 10% more than smaller ct size. I'm also not sure how others are discussing the great performance other than branding, since I didn't see an ASET provided by Jon or on the AGS report.
I would find out how much more this diamond costs than a non-branded of similar faceup size.
Is this an upgrade to replace the round or will you be keeping both and switching them up? If I had both, I would three stone halo the round instead. I would want the largest stone as my simple solitaire option, not the smaller one.
You want it to face up BIGGER? If you get a diamond with any bigger a face it’s gonna eat your lunch when you’re not looking!
I think if you can afford a 6 ct stone you should go out and buy the fanciest iphone available and POST MORE PICTURES!!!!!
