Hello,
I recently put in a deposit for a 1.20 carat I-SI2 solasfera diamond in NYC. I was impressed with the array of testing and the sparkle on the diamond. I came home and did some more research and I'm reading some forum and website commentaries that its all a gimmick. The solasfera diamond website and their videos do seem very infomercial-like and now I'm getting nervous.
- Is Solasfera for real? I mean, I know they are very well cut and diamonds are diamonds. I mean, do you guys think that it is just a fad and that 5 years from now, the Solasfera brand will disappear and I will be left with a 91-faceted lemon that no one will recognize? This is my biggest fear.
- How legit is that GEMEX report? I've read online that its more of a marketing tool and a big gimmick. Is GEMEX an established and world recognized method of gauging diamonds or just a recent fly-by-night scheme that just popped up recently to push Solasfera?
- Since it is a Solasfera, the GIA report omits alot of information like: cut rating, detailed dimensions and proportions. This makes me a little hesitant and it weighs my trust up against the brand "solasfera". It's a brand that is apparently new and unproven. Am I incorrect in this?
What are your opinions on this? Please help me, I would be so grateful. Thank you.
