Just wanting to get your opinion on this Diamond? Does cut and leakage look nice? I love warm Diamonds btw.

Thank you!!!

lots of mush, ie areas that are not actively returning light even when moved.

What about this one?

Of the ones that @DejaWiz posted I put the 1.05 in 3rd place. The other two were better. What draws you to this one vs. the other
two?

I consider "nice ovals" to have more "good" facets show up as the stone is rotated. This is the 1.3. It takes quite a rotation for
more good facets to show up but they do.


Here is the 1.05. The only nice facets coming out of the center towards the long ends is a little bit that shows up with
the stone straight on. As the stone turns more that area goes mushy and stays mushy.




A look at a further rotation of the 1.05. The blue area goes mushy and stays mushy.


I know what I'm trying to show you is difficult to see and it is a difficult nuance to pick up on. You should spend a lot of
time on James Allen looking at ovals (spin them) and look for large, bright facets to show up heading towards the rounded
ends of the oval.

I'm going to post some ovals that have good light return so you know what to look for...these may or may not be in the specs you
are looking for.

You want color...here it is... it's a brown-tinted J though. I think you're looking for a yellow tint?

This is extremely helpful...I'm not a super oval assessor by any means, but I'm trying to learn.
Ovals are my nemesis LOL

Thank you, I just thought it looked more sparkly and clear than my previous one. I found another that I like. Referenced above. I really appreciate all the advice! Thank you!!

The 1.04 is very similar to the 1.05 so pretty much the same comments.
