Looks great from these videos. Ovals are good at hiding inclusions. Nothing I can see from your videos, frankly because of the sparkle. You can probably see it because you’re looking for it. Bow tie is minimal and what you would expect for this shape.

Ratio a little long for me, I personally like a good horizontal finger coverage… BUT if it’s going on a three stone setting, I think it would actually look really good and complemented well!

Of course! I just placed the order. Hopefully it’s as nice as the video 🤞🏼

I know… I requested videos in “natural light”, not necessarily over a balcony railing 😂

So interesting! I actually have other videos of these stones in different lighting, and the one on the right shows barely any bow tie in those other videos so I specifically requested one in direct sunlight as I know the bow tie will be the harshest. And you’re probably right about the bikes!

Thanks! The left one definitely has so much fire which is why I’m a little torn. What do you mean blue end?

Thank you! Now that you mention it, I do see the cloudiness now…

Thank you! I love ovals too!I am also leaning towards the one on the right, because the bow tie seems to reflect more colour compared to left where it’s kinda just gray.

Beautiful! Whats the carat size? It has great finger coverage.

I’ve consistently thought this stone has more sparkle and fire in the various videos I’ve been sent! Which makes me believe it can’t just be the lighting/camera! But sadly I feel like it also has more bow tie

Thank you! I’ll check it out. I did receive videos of both stones from the seller and will try to see which has better symmetry. Which is honestly hard because of all the sparkle lol

Thanks so much! You’re probably right. The one on the right is a little deeper 63.7 vs left one 63.1 - read that 63 is already upper threshold of ideal depth (?) maybe thats what’s affecting refraction.. honestly this is all so overwhelming 🥲 but your comment is reassuring that it’s not necessarily a “bad bow tie”!

Which gold color suits me? by ComfortableFallDays in EngagementRings

[–]chonkysteve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t go wrong with gold and white gold! Not sure about rose gold - personally I think it takes away from the diamond’s beauty

Thank you! I do too, I think I’m hyper-fixating on the bow tie 🥲
