Re: Photos, ASET of F IF emerald-cut from JA
From a tilt is a good test if it has windowing. You should not be able to read the print. Check this link.

Re: Can you identify a cz from a diamond by the naked eye?
Because of the different refractive index, windowing (i.e seeing through the diamond) is apparent with CZ's, particularly at an angle and when it is larger. However, diamonds do exhibit windowing to a certain degree although not as much as a CZ; and a poorly cut round/ step cut diamonds are more lik... |

Re: 13mm round Halo Vs. 14 mm round Halo Pictures Please!!!
I doubt you will get much replies: assuming it's a single halo, the center stone would be anywhere between 4 to 7 carats (from a substantial halo to something very delicate), and we don't really have much round stones of that size in halos on PS. The only one I can think of is lvnut's ring, she has ... |

Re: Does your jewelry/watch/clothes/car/home confer status?
Don't all purchases confer status? A designer label will tell others you either prefer quality, or prefer labels. Something with a logo slapped all over it (think LV bags and their monogram print, or Coach and their C's all over) shows that the owner cares to show that off. Something with a less co... |

Re: Clarisonic - does it work?
I have been using it for a year now, and didn't really see a huge difference in my skin - but it really does clean my skin a lot better (that or my skin has changed).

Re: Do you support child-free zones on commercial airlines?
While I do try to tolerate fussy/crying/screaming of babies and toddlers, this is a very difficult task especially for red eye flights and international flights.

Re: Still afraid of what your parents say about your choices
Not really at this point. We are asian-chinese, and when I was growing up, there was a lot of pressure from my folks to do what is expected of me (do well in school, get a good job, get married etc). As I got older I became more of my own person and rebelled against doing what was expected (getting ... |

Re: Most "wiggle room" in the 4 C's for a middle class layma
I would suggest going down in clarity: working with a vendor who can check out if the diamond is eye clean and if it obstructs light performance in any way is the easiest way and most "bang for your buck" rather than sticking to VS clarity. I have worked with incredible vendors who helped ... |

Re: should I buy this bracelet?
