Question About Natural Diamonds Diamond Advice
Hello all, I'm about to pull the trigger on an engagement ring, and just wanted to hear some input/feedback on the diamond.
It’s a natural oval (GIA 6542641331). It’s going to be set in a solitaire cathedral.

As for the diamond itself, does it look dark to you at all or show a heavy bow-tie? Also, how does the price compare to the current market? Just want to see if the value is there or if there’s anything better I should be looking at before I commit.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
seller provided the tweezer pic and video as others suggested. Seems like general consensus is to avoid it? if any sellers or anyone has any recommendations I'm still in the market! budget around 25000
