Dear all
I am planning to propose to my girlfriend shortly (indeed all this COVID-19 stuff makes you think...). As you can imagine, I am new to the diamond world and have spent many hours trying to understand how to select a good diamond. But after looking at hundreds of diamonds on Blue Nile, I settled for this one on a 6-prong Platinum classic ring -
Table: 58%
Crown Angle: 34.0
Pavilion Angle: 40.6
Depth: 60.2%
However, upon further research online (after buying the ring!), it seems like the specifications are not particularly desirable. For instance, the crown angle and pavilion angle are not particularly good for sparkle. From previous discussions with my girlfriend, having a sparkly and non-yellow diamond is more important to her than carat size.
Now, the question is: should I cancel the order and choose another diamond?
Maybe I have gone over-board with my reading and that the diamond is fine. Of course, I would appreciate all your experience/feedback.
Many thanks in advance.
