My bad. Had it set to private. Changed it now

It's really hard to see the facets in the video to be honest

So take with a grain of salt...initial reaction is that it isn't my favorite. Appears to be a bit shallow, large table, doesn't have that nice puffy crown I want to see in an antique. facets also seem a little disorganized

What are your preferences for OEC? Might help folks assess if it is a good fit for you

@Spring Day curious to hear your thoughts...you are much more seasoned than me!

I was of the same opinion on the stone. But the price was tempting so I was trying to”talk myself into it”. Alas, it’s a pass. Thank you!

I don’t like it for all the reasons you stated above. First initial reaction was that it was very shallow. No distinct facet pattern. Large enough table to drive a bus through.

I think that’s smart. I don't know who the vendor is but it’s a bit of a red flag that they’re comparing it with another uncerted “K”. Highly suspect.

Thank you for the feedback. This was not a PS vetted seller. I had reached out to them a while ago and they just messed today with the stones. But agreed it was sketchy
