I am casually shopping around for my very first oval and chanced upon this stone from BE: https://www.brilliantearth.com/lab-diamonds-search/view_detail/11490438/

I don't know very much about ovals at all so would like to seek opinions on it. From the video it looks like the bowtie effect isn't too distracting but I am unsure if it is also the angle of rotation.

Would be grateful on any thoughts on this stone, thank you!
 
I can’t tell if my eyes are playing tricks, but I feel like I see a bit of blue nuance. @DejaWiz your thoughts on the tint?
just in case you’re looking for some alternatives to BE, I can across this oval slightly bigger F VS1 oval worth looking at https://www.diamondsbylauren.com/index.php/jewelry/215ct-f-vs1-oval-lgd-r9667
Also, Rhino at Distinctive Gem has some stunning custom cut ovals

Oh yes...HPHT G color with a blue twinge = almost guaranteed to be a Type IIb diamond with blue nuance.

I think there's too much mush either side of the centre. I think you can find better.
 
By the way that DBL oval you posted looks absolutely amazing, @anangel!

Can't go wrong with either DBL or DG!

Thank you for your thoughts! Coincidentally, I have actually emailed DBL on this oval you have linked (and a couple others) and have also dropped an email to DG on getting more information on their custom cuts (both their brilliant and heritage cuts). Am just waiting to hear from them.

Noted with thanks!

Looks like I didn't do too badly emailing both vendors. :) Hopefully will get a reply from them in due course.
