Need some help, Oval Diamond

[Gypsy]

Can't wait for pics.

That's a big price difference! I'd have given the J a try too!

Sorry. Been out of town and am in NYC tomorrow. I will try to get pictures on Sunday; what's strange is that I can see a bow tie only in 2 instances. When it is in indirect/filtered sunlight, but still during the day, you can catch a bow tie at certain angles. I compared this in bright sun and artificial lighting and it just sparkles and looks like a diamond should. The other instance is in pictures. All pictures. It is the weirdest thing. I need to try with my nice camera. The blue fluorescence actually looks to be a lot less than the pictures from Ariel, but it definitely has a blue tone in direct sun. It sparkles line crazy though. I think it offsets the dark color that was apparent in the previous diamond, which was a .64 round ideal cut. I personally kind of like it, and hopefully she will. I think it adds some personality to the stone. Also the diamond appears very white for a J, but you can catch a tinge of yellow in very dim conditions if held up against a pure white cloth. Otherwise, it appears very white unless in bright daylight where it gets the blue tone.

P.S. - Ariel, I am a dude. This ring is for my girlfriend at some point; however, I am picking out everything on my own, as that is her preference. Thanks for the help though!

oldtau67,

Think champagne or white wine or creme soda, not yellow .
