2nd guessing size

Sophie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,826 Last Post: 11/16/2009 Member Since: 8/28/2005	After seeing this chart: http://images.amazon.com/media/i3d/01/actual-diamond-size.pdf I am now 2nd guessing that my stone is a 1.53 radiant. When I look at the 1.5 radiant example, it is way bigger than mine....for example, the chart shows at 1.5 its dimensions are 8.0 x 6.0. Since mine is more square thasn rectangiular, its dimensions are 6.86 x 6.32 x 4.46. What is up with that??

This seems to be especially true of the sizes that are under a carat. In actual stones I also find that the 'sparklier' a diamond is the larger it looks! Better quality stones with more flash look bigger. They also look bigger right after you clean them -at least I have found this to be the case with mine. It's not particularly large but it does draw notice from across the room!

It's sooo bad, but the way I look at is I have acutally saved a lot of money from being here, than say if I went and bought from a B&M. ____________________________ Piece of cake and a candle. ng gift
