Hello again, PS!
Your help has been invaluable so far. My boyfriend and I are in the process of procuring a center stone. After a few weeks of searching, I think I've found a good contender. It's within our price range (though it's at the top at 12k...) and seems to meet everything I'd like in an OEC. I only hesitate because the grading report is EGL, which I've heard terrible things about on PS.
The stone will be mounted in yellow gold, so I'm fine going down in color, but GIA K was about as low as I'd go. I would prefer if the diamond wasn't too noticeably yellow. I am worried that the EGL J is more akin to a GIA L or M... The detail photo we requested from Adam (included below) is much more yellow than the listing photo. Could this just be a lighting issue? The diamond certainly does not appear that yellow in the video (also included).
The vendor is Adam at OWD.
Old European Cut Diamond
2.17 ct EGL J VS1
8.37x8.15x5.07 mm
Proportions:
Depth: 61.2%
Table: 57%
Crown: 15.9%
Pavilion: 42.6%
Girdle: Very thin to medium
Cutlet: Medium
Fluorescence: None
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Good
