Hey all!
I have been meaning to post this for weeks now but between starting a new job and becoming a homeschooling mom (all at the same time!) life has been crazy!!
Anyways, I bought this ring off RubyLane a month or so ago, there are a lot of rings in my collection but this is my first with this facet pattern. There is a seller I have seen with diamonds faceted this way labeled as transitional. So without the table and depth measurement, and with only the facet pattern to work with, I’m thinking it is a transitional or early round brilliant.
Something different about this one is that it does “go dark” in direct sunlight, from other threads I know this is evidence of a well cut diamond when looking at round brilliant cuts, but is this true of the early round brilliant and transitional cuts?
I took these pictures yesterday in the same spot in the yard, only moving my hand to show the darkness in sun and how it looks in the shade. Something that’s really cool about this diamond is in indoor lighting you can see the tips of several arrows that light up white
Anyone else have an old cut that does this? If so please share!
Please excuse the dry hands, the gloves at work dry them out terribly!
