I got a an engagement ring for my fiancée a couple of weeks ago and after return from an overseas trip, we decided to walk into some brick and mortar stores to see how the ring compares with the jeweller's and under store led lights.
It turns out that, much to my surprise, our ring does not shine as much as the rings in store and almost has a cloudy and dusty look around the edge of the table, which is quite visible under direct strong light but not quite so under normal lights.
Our ring is G colour and vvs clarity and otherwise ticks all the specs of an ideal cut diamond that are suggested on PS. So I wouldn't think that this would happen and certainly didn't notice anything like the cloudy and dusty look when I first bought the ring from the jeweller. During the overseas trip, we went through some quite dusty roads. So I'm thinking whether this could be a result of simply the dirty and grime that has accumulated during the short period?
Does any one have similar experiences? Any thoughts are appreciated.
