Second Opinion On A 1 Carat Oval Diamond

Q:

Hello Liz,

My fiance and I located a setting we love at a local jeweler but we are considering purchasing a stone online as we have found stones with far higher grades in comparable price ranges. We need a 1 carat oval stone. Here are a few I was interested in. Looking for a second opinion:

Hi Josh,

In terms of oval shape, I prefer for it to be more elongated than short/fat. If you don’t mind strong blue fluorescence then I prefer the the 1.06ct F VVS2 with a length/width of 1.409. Scintillation pattern is beautiful in the HD video. Light performance is ideal.

1.06ct F VVS2 from Enchanted Diamonds

Second choice the 1.00ct E VS1: https://enchanteddiamonds.com/diamonds/view/Oval/GIA-Certified-1-0-Carat-E-Color-VS1-Clarity-Diamond-EW5EDS
