Hey all,

Exciting times for me as I'm for the first time going diamond shopping.

Wondering your thoughts on this oval diamond:

Will be setting on a halo with pave band.

Excited to hear your thoughts

It’s very beautiful; crystal clear, eye clean. It’s a very warm H, which gives it beauty; l’m certain the flashes will be beautiful, irl.
l prefer more elongated stones: l x w ratio 1.40-1.60. This Oval is “squatty”; not elongated. l x w ratio is under 1.30:1. What are your thoughts?
l did notice a beautiful, consistent facet pattern across the belly of the stone; little to no mushiness. The broad facets seem to be more at the N, S, E & W areas of the stone, and slightly in the center, with slight differentiation in pattern, which is quite lovely. l think it’s a good stone, from what l can see. She’s chubby, but very pretty...
 
Looks like a nice oval to me. 8 main offset...nice facets show up with just a slight tilt.

Color cant really be determined from looking at a single stone on a screen so dont really understand the comments above. Video set ups differ and
screens display color differently. If the stone were next to a few other H's you might be able to give a "relative" opinion comparing it to the other H
colored stones around it.

I like the new stone you posted also but prefer the first stone over this last stone. There is an inclusion on the table of this last stone you posted but
it is probably* still eye-clean (check with vendor). What are the sizes (mm) on the stones?

I think* I like the first stone better but would really need to see them side by side to make a call (unless one is significantly bigger than the other).
I think the facets in the center of the first one are better defined than this last one (although this last one isnt bad either).

The comment about a warm H - is this a negative or positive?

Shouldnt i be wary of a warm stone?
The other one i have found at the same price point is this one:

No. It was a compliment to the stone against the white background. l don’t believe the tint will be obvious, and l believe it’s beautiful. Not comparing it to other H’s, just merely trying to be honest about what my eyes see, and, apparently, that was construed as a negative. It’s really gorgeous. My question about l x w ratio, somehow?, got missed. What are your thoughts? Do you want a chubby diamond?
Stone 2 is out for me*, l* cannot “unsee” obvious inclusions against the table. Prongs will not hide that. l’m Team oval#1, this far. It’s a great find!
