Hey everyone!
I am new to the site and am hoping to get some feedback on my diamond! Long story short my fiance and I got engaged a couple of months ago and I received a beautiful 1.01 carat cushion from him.
Fast forward to a week ago... He decided he wanted to upgrade my diamond and surprised me with a 1.50 carat radiant. At first glance it was beautiful and we were blown away by how much larger it was (I have large hands) but upon further inspection I am having some serious issues with it.
The diamond has a black spot right in the middle of it that is VERY visible in direct sunlight but is visible almost every other time as well. At this point it is all I see every time I look down at my ring. My fiance had noticed a little bit of it at the store and they told him it was a reflection of the setting and once we got our pave setting back it wouldnt be noticeable.
Another thing... my diamond is see through from the side! I thought diamonds weren't supposed to be? We have a GIA certification and the marks on it do match the diamond so I am not worried about it being authentic but just worried about quality. The jeweler told my fiance the diamond was a "good cut" but I am aware GIA doesn't rate the cuts on the radiants. After some amateur research online I am worried it may not actually be a good cut. HERE ARE THE SPECS:
CUT-CORNERED RECTANGULAR MODIFIED BRILLIANT
Measurements 7.52 x 5.76 x 4.10 mm
Carat Weight 1.50 carat
Color Grade F
Clarity Grade SI1
PROPORTIONS
Depth 71.2 %
Table 74 %
Girdle Medium to Extremely Thick
Culet None
FINISH
Polish Good
Symmetry Good
FLUORESCENCE
Fluorescence Faint
Can someone please give me their thoughts on this? Will the new setting really help? I would really appreciate any input ASAP because my setting is getting re-made to fit this new diamond! I really don't want to be unappreciative of my fiance's new purchase but I hate that he may have spent a lot more money for a not so good diamond and would rather get my old one back. Thanks!
