Well this is super exciting! I think the price will come down a bit once the listing is fleshed out with more pictures, etc (I've noticed this pattern on other new arrivals), but I know there are so many of us that wanted this!
Get excited!!
Ovals are an interesting beast in moissanite, with some looking super crisp and throwing lots of rainbows, while others look more hazy. Here's a few I have from left to right:
2ct 9mm x 7mm grey brilliant oval from Kuololit - This one might be the most sparkly moissanite I own up there with the round brilliants. It throws so much fire and looks really cool in both low lighting and bright lighting.
2ct 9mm x 7mm DEF OMC brilliant hybrid from Kuololit - It's listed as an OMC but it doesn't have the chunky large facets - instead it looks mostly like a brilliant with a pinpoint cutlet. It looks pretty crisp, but it has a bit less fire.
2ct 9mm x 7mm DEF brilliant from ATTAGEMS - It's just about as crisp and sparkly as my grey oval. It's the one that made me realize that moissanite oval brilliants were SO pretty and inspired the purchase of the grey oval.
2.5ct 10mm x 7mm DEF brilliant from Samstin - The disappointment. I thought all moissanite oval brilliants would be created equal but that's not the case, unfortunately. I think it must have to do with the elongated ratio causing the facets to not align into the hearts and arrows pattern. It looks hazy and static compared to the others, and doesn't really give many rainbows even in bright "jewelry store" type lighting. Maybe it's just not well cut?
I also have two diamond ovals - a 3ct vivid green brilliant and a 2ct G color crushed ice that both look very different from all of these as well in facet pattern, clarity and sparkle.
I may have to try and get a diamond cut and a crushed ice oval moissanite for comparison as well.
I'd also love to get a hearts & arrows oval diamond someday, since they have a similar facet pattern to moissanite oval brilliants.
What do you think of moissanite ovals? Do you have any that are particularly beautiful?
