James Allen has a great selection of oval cut diamonds. The diamonds listed are graded by GIA, AGS, and IGI. If you want to view the grading report for any James Allen diamond just jump on the chat and ask. They will email it to you before you can blink. And they don't spam your email adress after that. There is no return email address when you receive the grading report so if you would like to ask anything further just jump back on the chat and ask any questions you have there. If you would like to see an ASET or ImageScope rendering of the stone in question the online consultant can share their screen with you and show you what they have got on that stone. Since fancy (non-round) shape diamonds don't have a cut grade James Allen, like most jewelers, don't assign cut categories to their oval cut diamonds. You can however find the best oval cut diamonds by following these steps: Click on Advanced Options and keep the polish and symmetry between Excellent and Very Good. You can also filter the depth percentage range from 58 to 66 and the table percentage from 51 to 64. From there, you'll just want to use the magnified video to assure that you love the shape of the diamond and see a strong amount of brilliance, avoiding large areas of darkness.

Blue Nile is a great place to shop for oval cut diamonds. Blue Nile has a large selection of oval cut diamonds along with the many other shapes they offer. I particularly like the fact that they have 360° images of the diamonds and you can check out the diamond certificates (diamond grading reports) right there alongside each of the stones' listings. Shopping for oval diamonds is a little trickier than shopping for round brilliants. The shape of an oval cut diamond lends itself to a number of different length to width ratios. This means that there are many more variables involved. Blue Nile, as is the case with the majority of jewelers, list GIA graded stones. As of yet GIA does not provide a cut grade for ovals. This is one of the reasons that jewelers for the most part won't list any oval cut diamond as having an excellent cut. If a jeweler does describe one of their oval cut diamonds as having an excellent cut grade this is based on the jeweler's assessment and not on the laboratory assessment. This is not something Blue Nile does, so there will be plenty of oval cut diamonds listed on Blue Nile that could be termed as having an excellent cut grade. However they are only labeled as having a Very Good cut grade.

About Blue Nile: Since it's founding in 1999 Blue Nile has become a leader as an online diamond and gemstone jewelry retailer. The company was one of the first to offer a a more intuitive and interactive way to buy engagement rings, wedding rings, and fine jewelry. They did so by providing essential educational content along with the tools which place you in control of the jewelry shopping process. Blue Nile continues to innovate and improve the customer experience. As such, Blue Nile has some of the highest quality standards in the industry. They are one of the only platforms that offers such a large range of independently graded diamonds and fine jewelry. Of course it's the prices that make shopping at Blue Nile so attractive. With prices significantly below traditional retail it's understandable that thousands upon thousand of shoppers choose to buy their diamonds from Blue Nile.

Buying from Blue Nile can be done by phone, though Blue Nile is best experienced through its website which can be accessed on any device or at one of its Webrooms in half a dozen locations in the US. Please check out my longer article on Blue Nile here: Blue Nile Review.
