Help picking diamond kay-

[AE16]

Totally! I’ve seen them and the way they sparkle is incredibles That’s why I wanted to to get through this fast and be done with it. I’m sorry never meant to make anyone waste time I’ve been juggling it this whole time.

My second fav cut would be an emerald.

I get it. We suggested a round because it’s easier to pick based on photos and numbers. Fancies not so much. You could build new memories with the diamond we help you pick, But only you can decide that.

 

[Dreamer_D]

Yeah its just hard to offer remote help with those given the info that Kay's provides.

A Sleek and Sunny Reset for my 2.85 ct F/VS2 Engagement Emerald Cut

A few years ago I reset my 2.85 ct emerald cut for the first time. The original setting was a chunky, hand-forged platinum one and I wanted something more airy and thin. While I was doing research, I saw this vintage Boucheron ring on 1stdibs. I just loved the contrast of the 18 kt yellow...

Are you kidding me that’s stunning!!! There’s something about an emerald that’s so elegant . I showed my husband earlier and told him I’m inspired to set it in a way that unique and can be passed down used as an heirloom piece. I love your ring!!
How have you been loving it?
Ok now I feel really hopefully again and excited I hope the oval works but now I have option b that makes me happy

Thank you! I’ve glad that you have a back up plan! My ring is very comfortable to wear and I love the finger coverage!

Do you plan to get in yellow or white metal?

Also, my ring was inspired by @Mrs-b’s work of art:

2.63 is a bit off..... has contrast at 12'oclock (blue) instead of red (brightness) like you see at 6'oclock

Oval is here! But it’s my birthday weekend so can’t go in . SA sent this! Thoughts ?
I will go in Monday and take pics and videos

 

[lulu_ma]

LOL-I think I can see your SA’s reflection in the stone. Is she blonde and wearing a dark color?

Can’t tell anything from this pic. But I think you will like the size.

 

[AE16]

Yes he’s usually wearing tux and has blonde shaggy hair

Any tips on pictures or videos to take?

Do you think there’s a noticeable difference in this size compared to a 2.5 carat?
My finger size is a 5 1/2

2.2 ct on the left, 2.5 ct which is $31.5k on the right. Size 5.5 finger

2.2ct Oval (10.91×7.22×4.46) vs 2.5ct Oval (10.61×7.43×4.83)

Compare 2.2 carat Oval (10.91×7.22×4.46mm) vs 2.5 carat Oval (10.61×7.43×4.83mm) on actual diamond size and finger coverage (64.59mm² vs 64.64mm²)

The 2.20 is certainly presenting well above it's weight...

 

[lavenderdragonfly23]

The 2.5 may have more caret weight, but I personally LOVE the ratio of the 2.20.

I can’t wait for videos and pics!!! Make sure you figure out how to post videos, cause have been pacing since you had them pull it!

 

[AE16]

Uploading now! I’m so sorry it was so hard to get pics and videos please tell me all your thoughts. I appreciate all of you as I don’t have anyone else to talk to and SA here just want to sell to me.

Plan b would be getting that 2.5 emerald (that hasn’t arrived yet) and setting as necklace and ordering a lab oval 2.50-2.85 carat

Thank you all!!

 

[Dreamer_D]

What are your thought?

 

[AE16]

Do you guys see any bow tie or lack of sparkle?

 

[AE16]

 

[lavenderdragonfly23]

I LOVE the oval!
I REALLY LOVE the oval!
I ABSOLUTELY REALLY LOVE the oval!
I POSITIVELY ABSOLUTELY REALLY love the oval!

I’m team oval, obviously!


All that aside, I think the ratio of the oval looks beautiful on you! But…. My opinion matters none, what do YOU think?

 

[AE16]

The size was shocking! Looked really big . My worry was obviously in different lighting it looked more yellow next to that white paper in natural ish light inside mall.
And felt like there was a little lack in sparkle? But again I don’t know what’s right in an oval shape as I’ve only seen Kay’s.

I want a hello gold band white gold French prongs and hidden halo

What are your thought?

 

[AE16]

Hahaha same!! That’s why plan b wouldstill involve getting an oval lab diamond I just love them. I did like ratio to for me I want to make sure there’s no visible bow tie, it’s a good deal from being from Kay

My one doubt was it felt like it lacked a little in sparkle compared to a lab ? Not sure if it’s noticeable at all or just me

I LOVE the oval!
I REALLY LOVE the oval!
I ABSOLUTELY REALLY LOVE the oval!

[Dreamer_D]

I can’t tell much from your photos and videos. All ovals have some amount of bow tie. Goal is to minimize it. Comparing to online videos isn’t apples to apples as lighting really matters. Lighting in stores like Kay’s make diamonds more tinted and don’t really benefit ovals which are more about white light return.

If you liked it I think you should get it and move on. Don’t get the setting from Kay’s obviously.

 

[lulu_ma]

The shape looks gorgeous on your hand. How long can they hold that one in store for?

This one popped up. Can you ask them to bring this one in so you can compare them side by side?

Oval 2.30 Carat J SI1 Good Diamond

You can pick the best one between these two and have a beautiful stone on your hand.

Also, I recommend that you compare the stone/s to natural diamonds in a similar color range.

ETA: When you get the stone set, make sure that you specify color matched melee-then the setting will be visually harmonious.

 

[AE16]

Let me check my pictures because I did compare it to a 2 carat l color. It was just a different ratio. I hope I to a picture!

What do you think about bow tie and sparkle? It’s so hard to get good pictures and videos!!

I can try asking them they usually only let me do 2 at a time and they had ordered an emerald 2.5 j since I canceled the round
