https://www.adiamor.com/Diamonds/0.90-ct-E-VS2-Excellent-Cut-Oval-Diamond/D43058627 another decent option
https://www.adiamor.com/Diamonds/0.92-ct-E-VS2-Excellent-Cut-Oval-Diamond/D43245387?rfr=similar nice cut but not as big as the 7.81mm .9
And of course there are always the August Vintage Ovals. They are cut deeper to achieve the beautiful faceting pattern and nice light return. Unfortunately,
you have to give up LxW to get the excellent light return (you probably already knew this).

I agree with @diamondseeker2006. From the images/videos we have these stones appear to be quite similar in faceting pattern and I couldnt say that one
is better than the other. That leaves size (for me) to determine which one to choose. I would go with the larger (LxW) .9 stone.
I checked out several sites yesterday and thats about all I came up with. Keep an eye on that first one that is sold because if someone decides not
to take it, it might come back as not sold (in a few days).
I'll see what else I can find. You are looking at vendors that price their stones fairly well so I am unable to find larger (or the same) at other vendors.

I agree with @elizat...not seeing a big difference. The .92 faceting may be ever so slightly better but not thinking its worth giving up the extra size of
the .9 you found.

I think it looks ok (ok as in good). Oval asets are not pretty. Really matters what happens as the stone is moved and tilted.
The aset is showing a fair amount of green outside the center which is good. I think its worth taking a look at in person. Without
videos that rotate while the stone is on an angle vs standing straight up, its difficult to see how the stone will perform.

Are you in a particular hurry to have an o al? If not, I’d keep looking. There are beautiful ovals out there. That one does have a very dark bow tie.
Is your budget flexible at all? What about the color and clarity. In a 1.0 carat, you really shouldn’t see a tint in an H or see inclusions in a Vs2. Have you looked at H VS1 at all?
