Okay...I know that I am not close to being the expert on diamonds here..but I am glad that at least my BF has some sense!
We went into a major chain store (in Canada, at least)on Saturday and was looking at Canadian diamonds. I tried on a 1 carat RB and it was very sparkly. I held it up to the light to look at it and it was very visibly included. There were at least 3 large carbon spots that were visible from at least 5 inches away. They wanted $9999 for it. They said it was an I2 and an H clarity. It seemed to be extremely overpriced. My BF was like "that didn''t look like a great diamond for that money...did you see the carbon?"
I was FLOORED!!! He actually knew what that was. Maybe he is getting an little insight on his own already
I thought that Canadian diamonds were supposed to be the cream of the crop? Maybe that just means "well cut"?????
