Ovals (again)

[Vintagegirl11]

I've learned a tremendous amount since joining this forum about a week ago. I had no idea that purchasing a diamond was such a nuance filled and complex decision. Thank you for all of your help. I'm posting to ask a couple different questions. I received an oval diamond yesterday from JA and I'm just not keen on it- it seems cloudy. There's no fluorescence so I'm unsure as to what would cause that. It is an I color, so the color perhaps? I love the color though and am not going to shy away from the H or I colors assuming this cloudiness has to do with another attribute of the diamond. I'm going to list a diamond below and I'd love some opinions. I know (now) that the fancy cuts aren't a play by the numbers kind of diamond so I'd love honest feedback- my fear is the table and depth are out of the pricescope ideal parameters. I'm just gun-shy and a bit weary :/. Here's the diamond:

Secondly, please- if you feel like taking the time to find additional diamonds that are oval and between .8-1.0 carat and you think would be super sparkly in real life- please post them here. We're trying to go 3k and under but the above diamond is 3150- I don't care, if that's a good rock we don't need to eat for a couple weeks (I jest...kind of).

Gypsy- thank you so much for all of your recs. I've saved them all and am now entering the process you recommended earlier. I should have domes exactly what you said right of the bat!

Thanks for any help or guidance that can be lent. It's extremely appreciated.

The bow-tie on that is hugh! Its a no-go. I'll take a look around and see what I can find on JA.

I recommended these earlier to someone else. Seems like there are a lot of people looking for
ovals in this range right now.

JA will give you up to 3 aset images free of charge if/when you narrow it down to 3 stones. You can
also ask them to compare and contrast differet stones that you are interested in once you narrow it
down.

Thank you! See, that's something I'm just not detecting unless it's obviously black/dark.
