Oval stone will it be a stunner or not?

[DaveN]

I''ve been searching and found this GIA certified diamond. There is no photo and just this description:

Shape: OVAL
Carat Weight: 2.20
Cut: Excellent
Color: F
Clarity: VS2
Depth: 63.7%
Table: 57.0%
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Girdle: Thick
Culet: Pointed
Fluorescence: Strong
Measurement: 10.14 MM x 7.24 MM x 4.61 MM

The price is $17,600 which beats a local stone and this one looks promising. Any oval opinions on this stone?

It could be a great diamond but very hard to tell without photos and preferably an ASET image, is this diamond online?

This link explains about ASET

The diamond has strong fluorescence, check on the grading report that it is blue and also you might notice a bluish glow in some lights, would that bother you? The diamond might be slightly discounted as a colourless stone with SB fluorescence if that is the case.

If it was me, I would think this diamond is definitely work further investigation, ask the seller if they can send detailed photos, an ASET preferably or Idealscope image and a Sarin report to get the crown height of the diamond.

Also these shapes can often show a bow tie which is a dark area running across the centre of a diamond of elongated shape which literally looks like a bow tie. Ask the seller to what extent the diamond shows this, they can sometimes be minimized but not always, many elongated fancy shapes can show a bow tie to more or less of an extent.

No, I would be very interested in this one if I was looking for a large oval, the info above only gives us a chalk outline of the stone but on paper it looks extremely promising, images will fill in the blanks.
