I've an Oval cut on hold with JA and I'm to look for 2 more so that I can get 3 ASET's with my one request. I've looked a bit and I can't find any others that I think perform as well. So I'm wanting PS'ers opinion on this stone and to see if you're able to find any that may be able to compete. JA or other sites are fine, though I didn't find what I was looking for with GOG's house stock.

Here is the Oval that I've on hold, I'm requesting the ASET once I've got two others to request.

Requirements that I searched under, feel free to do the same, or not.
Cost - 2800 or less
GIA/AGS
0.65 - 0.9 carats
D-G, might consider H but farely hesitant as I notice the color
SI1 eyeclean - VVS1/2
I prefer a longer ratio (1.40+) but I'll consider any oval stone that performs well.
 
That oval has a very pretty faceting pattern but it is kind of long and thin. What kind of setting are you planning on putting it in?
This may make a difference.

Here are some other ovals at JA that I liked...

You can pick any 3 and ask for aset images.

I think the .75 D is my favorite.
 
That's a nice stone you picked, the F VVS. It faces up nearly 5x7 which is great. And I love the proportions and how elongated it is.
 
tyty - It will be set in a Halo. I'm fairly certain a Gabbie Halo from Love Affair Diamonds(half of formerly known as JbEG) and I've been told it's possible. I think it will look fine but not 100%.

Gypsy - thanks, the depth/table aren't perfect according to the chart but I understand there are outliers in the fancy world. I think and I'm hoping the ASET proves me right.
 
tyty's choices are nice as well. I especially like the D SI1.
 
Thanks for the input guys/gals. I'll submit a request for an ASET on the two 75 pointers tyty mentioned as well as the 73 pointer I found. I'll request those around 8pm EST, so if anyone finds anything else between now and then on JA please post it and I'll look.
