Hi,
I am strongly considering purchasing on oval diamond, and I was wondering if people could help me by commenting on the specs? Unfortunately, I don''t have a photo. I saw the diamond, though, and thought it was beautiful. I think that for an oval, the "butterfly effect" is minimal, but I was concerned that the depth is not great enough based on looking at the certificate. Also, I was advised by someone that its not a good idea to go under the two carat mark if you are very close to it in buying an engagement ring, but I think at this particular store we likely wouldn''t be able to afford anything decent at two carats. What would be the drawbacks of buying something under 2 carat?
Here are the details:
Oval brilliant
9.94x7.10x3.93
1.83 carat
Depth: 55.4%
Table: 58%
Girdle: very thin to thick, faceted
Culet: none
Polish: good
Symmetry: good
VS2
F
Fluorescence: none
The price on this is approximately $22K, which includes two side stones totaling .8 carat and a handmade platinum mounting.
Thanks in advance for your help!
