Asscher Evaluation- seeking help

[Alcestis]

I think 2.12 and 3.1 look leaky on tilt. I would want to compare 2.54 and 1.97 in person.

@0-0-0 is this outlined grey area the part that looks leaky to you? Want to make sure I'm understanding correctly so I can learn (photo is of 2.12 is it tilted to the side)

Yes I think there are a few leaky steps under the table as they don’t flash on/off as the stone rotates. Using the 2.12 as an example, you can also see right through the stone with more tilt. This doesn’t happen with better cut ones.

I have another random question that you brilliant ppl might be able to answer. When I was shopping for my replacement wedding set I noticed that a lot of the ovals had fluorescence. I have probably looked at over a thousand asschers by now and I don't think a single one has had fluorescence. Why would this be? Both lab diamonds

Where did you find these lab ovals with fluorescence? What color?

Oh gosh good question it was a few years ago. I think back then I was browsing on James Allen, Brilliant Earth or Blue Nile and the like. I ultimately ended up buying mine in store though. I think I was looking D-H if I remember correctly? Is it not common for oval either?

Not common at all for colorless labs.

ah! This has me wondering now (my memory is poor) if I was seeing it more during the time I entertained h/i colors. I had read that you could go warmer with a yellow gold setting so browsed those for a bit. Ended up hating them though and went with a D haha

Alright everyone. I return humbled after learning a very important lesson. "If you snooze you lose". I had decided to purchase this one thanks to everyone's input- but after seeing that it's price got hiked, I thought I would wait for it to come back down. After all, there are so many asschers in the world who would buy THIS one? Welp. It's gone. And I'm sad. So here I am back at the drawing table and you better believe I wont make that mistake again

I come with my tail between my legs asking if any of these options I found today are worthwhile...

1.96

2.54

2.10

2.6

And finally the 1.97 that @0-0-0 kindly sent me is of course still on the table!
