What do you think of this Lab Diamond?
Hi guys,
I am ordering a ring for my soon to be wife, it's a surprise and am just a guy so need all the help I can get :D
I got the IGI report: it's a 5.10ct elongated oval, E color, VVS2 clarity, Polish & Symmetry are Excellent, and there is no Fluorescence. On paper, it looks incredible.
But what do you think of this video the jeweller sent me? They are pretty reputable (been around for over 18 years). I love that there is very little bow-tie, but do you guys think it's sparkly enough?
I have seen other stones from other suppliers that look a bit more crisp and shiny. I’m happy about the lack of a dark bow-tie, but I'm worried the overall brilliance looks a bit uniform or soft. Do you think it's just the diffused overhead studio lighting washing it out, or is the cut performance lacking? Or am I being too picky and it looks great?
