I ordered a solitaire set with a 1.0ct lab OEC from Ouros, and just received the video of the completed ring for approval before shipping. I really need some more eyes on the stone. To my eyes, it does not look good at all, particularly in the performance of the central facets, but I honestly don't trust either my judgement or the lighting/angle of their videos at this point.
Here is the link to the video (I tried to embed it in this post, but was unable to): http://streamable.com/m26jn0
Please let me know if that link doesn't work.
I was worried about the stone in the initial video of just it that they sent me, which was also outside in shade - it looked similarly rather "dead" in the central facets, and looked nothing like the various example pictures and video of their OECs on the order page on their website - and requested more videos in different lighting and settings. They only sent one, from the exact same angle but indoors instead of outdoors, and it looked better (although in retrospect, that angle was simply not adequate to really gauge it's performance on my hand). I was uncertain, but a couple people on Reddit said they thought it looked very good, so I went ahead and approved it, which I now think was likely a mistake.
I've requested additional videos in different lighting/settings, and this time I will INSIST on multiple that really show the stone in a variety. I'll add them to this thread when I get them. In the meantime, though, I would really love to get some feedback from anyone here on what they think of the stone.
ETA: @tyty333, @0-0-0, @lovedogs, @Inked, I saw you folks tagged in another post about a lab OEC. If any of you could take a minute to look at this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
