Oval Diamond - Advice, please??

[muppet]

HI Everyone,

New user here!

I am in the market for a 1.0 - 1.25 carat Oval diamond for my engagement ring. I know that Ovals are hard to buy online without seeing them in person, but I''m trying anyways!

I was just wondering if I could get some opinions on this stone that I found on Mondera.

GIA
1.24 Carat
Color: F
Clarity: VS2
Measurements: 8.6 X 6.15 X 3.76
Depth: 61.1%
Table: 57%
Girdle: Thin to Slightly Thick
Cutlet: None
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Very Good
Fluorescence: None
$6693.00

I''m a little nervous that Mondera doesn''t post the actual grading certificate as many other sites do, should I be concerned?

Thanks!

the specs look terrific--what is the return policy? perhaps you should order it and then see for yourself

Exactly. There is no way to tell how this diamond will look just by depth, table and girdle unfortunately. Can you ask Mondera if they can send you some detailed photos of the diamond, and if Idealscope images? Then we can get a much better idea if this diamond is well cut or not.

Welcome to Pricescope by the way!

Thanks for the advice! You''re all right, I definitely need more info/picutres - especially with an oval cut.

They really are essential as ovals can vary so much also in shape and appearance. Hopefully Mondera will be able to oblige by sending you some detailed photographs of the diamond at least and the other images if they use them.
