hello all, just updating this thread with another diamond option. i wasn’t initially thrilled by the video as the facets look dark, but could be the angle/lighting? the ASET center looks better than my previous posts, but i think the contrast/facet spread looked better in the diamond i posted before this one. any feedback is welcome!

in the first video it’s the right/top stone

I definitely like the right/top stone the best of these two. Wait for the pros to chime in.

Its the best of the 2 but neither is a winner.
To much of the stone goes dark at on time.
Not as bad as the other but not great.

thanks for your input. unfortunately i haven’t had any luck so far looking around or with the jewelers recommended on here (only due to the availability at the moment). maybe i just need to increase my budget or wait a bit longer and hope something comes up!

happy memorial day weekend! we had a bbq yesterday, but i still had diamonds on my mind :lol:

i found a possible option, does anyone have any thoughts? i also wasn’t sure if the medium fluorescence would affect the diamond in any negative way


thanks!

not eyeclean and it looks like it has surface graining on the crown and its not well cut.

i see what you mean about the surface graining, i was originally unsure about that diamond even though it was recommended by a gemologist. thanks for sharing your wisdom.

thread update: after discussing, my girlfriend is open to a lab grown diamond, so i am going to pivot from looking for an EGD. be on the lookout for a new thread on the LGD forum with updates on my ring journey!

a special shoutout to @Karl_K, i truly appreciate the expertise you've shared with myself and with this community, it’s been extremely helpful. i also wanted shoutout @DejaWiz who has helped me out the most and been so kind and amazing with sharing diamond knowledge. and of course everyone else who has commented!!
