Need advice on which of these 3 Frank Darling diamonds looks the best

[Tenncummins]

Hi everyone,

So I've narrowed down my search for an oval to these 3 from Frank Darling. I'm kinda leaning toward the 3.33 carat but the other two look good too. Not sure what to do. Looking for advice and opinions on what to pick. Please and thank you!

The first one isn't popping up for me - maybe it's sold?

I'm far from an expert on ovals but I actually like this one: https://frankdarling.com/diamonds/diamond-L10-53EL/

Frank Darling is great (I used them) and they can do ASET images for you. I would ask them to bring the stone or stones you like in house and do asets and have their in house gemologist give you an opinion.

I'm seeing some *potentially* blue tint here and it is an HTPT diamond so it's possible. @DejaWiz is better at assessing for that, though!

Thanks so much! I think it was just throwing me off because it's a D stone! xo

@DejaWiz ok thanks! do you have any better recommendations for an oval between 3.1-3.4? Looking for good light and optical performance. Thanks

Hi, Tenncummins !
I think you've got a pretty solid option picked out in that 3.21...and FD does have an ASET scope in-house, so they can get you whatever additional info on it that you ask for.
Have them put in on hold for you and bring it in.

They are going to bring it in and get ASET scope pics for me.

I also found this one from Ritnai that I like and was wondering what you think of it.

It looks good to me eyes from the video (which isn't saying much since ovals are so hard to assess).

Hard to say for certain without an assessment.

If you want to look at some ovals that have a bit of homework already done, then GCAL does provide their advanced images right on their grading reports.

These score "Excellent" in all categories.
Definitive? Eh, eye of the beholder, but the added info certainly doesn't hurt. Let your eyes do the judging.

GCAL now offers their top 8X grade for ovals, if you can find any.

What do your eyes tell you?

As another option, here are some offered by FD. They will likely bring in any that you want and provide ASET images of each, as well as a virtual live viewing session (video call).
