OEC--is this a good one?

[AnnaH]

I'm not exactly in the market presently but would like to own an OEC someday. Is this a good one?

I love Diamond Zone and since they have a good return policy, I would just order something you are interested in and look at it. I find their pictures to be a little strange, but the two items I have ordered from them looked better in person. This stone looks worth checking out, at least to me.

The patterning looks pretty from the pics but that stone is not eye clean. It is difficult to tell just how not eye clean it is but you will most likely be able to see inclusions more easily than you might want to so it depends how much that would bother you.

Good to know about diamond zone.

I agree that the inclusions are probably noticeable, but it isn't easy to tell how much it would bother me.

I'm actually in the market for a new round cut upgrade, but fell in love with some of the ps member's old cuts. If I found a great one, I might be persuaded.

The real test is seeing a diamond in person, right?

Thanks for the input.

Absolutely true! Even more so with old cuts vs modern cuts. You just cannot judge by the numbers though you can cross some off the list depending on what criteria you are looking for...
