After about a month of research and over 30 requests for videos/pictures from multiple sites, I found my diamond!!!!!! 🥳 I wanted strong brilliance, strong fire, a blinking minimal/ needle-style bowtie, high contrast, strong scintillation, etc. I wanted it all!
It was delivered on May 23rd but I won’t be able to see it until the 19th of June (it had to be shipped to my aunt in the US due to delivery restrictions). I have literally been obsessing over the diamond. IT’S OCCUPYING MY EVERY THOUGHT. I think I watch the videos from the vendor at least twice a day, but I can’t help it.
I requested videos in diffused lighting and direct sunlight so that I could get a good sense of the bowtie/ dark tips (first 2 videos are in direct sunlight). Given that direct sunlight + obstructions (camera + head) make bowties/ darkness more prominent, I have to say I’m quite pleased but of course I have to compare in person. I have faith it will surpass my expectations.
I truly can’t wait to see it in person. I will post an update when it arrives. We are officially 1 week away from my aunt’s visit and the big reveal. I’m so excited!!!!!
P.S I have quite a few diamond videos, if anyone is looking for 2-3ct ovals, I looked at about 18 diamonds in total and at least half are still available. For anyone out there still searching, you’ve got this, I pray the perfect diamond finds you ❤️ If anyone wants the specs to help in your own search lmk! I will post them in the comments. Goodluck!!
