Well, first, I''d just like to say that this forum rocks (pun intended). Having such a great group of people around to talk with and share information makes me happy.
Anyways, on to my question.
I''m currently trying to learn how to grade diamond clarity. Well, I''m actually trying to learn how to use a loupe correctly right now (lots of practice), and I''m just finally starting to figure things out. I can''t tell you how exciting it was to finally see the inclusion on my fiance''s VS2 Princess cut.
I wasn''t able to see it for the longest time, but after reading and learning more about the loupe, I saw it.
Okay, I''m digressing.
Where can someone get diamonds to practice on?
I mean, we only have so many in the house (and lots of them are REALLY small and hard to look at closely). Do you get stones to work on during the GIA courses? Also, is working with set stones that much more difficult (or does it depend on the setting)
Practice makes perfect, right?
It''s hard enough trying to resist asking people "can I see that stone under my loupe? I''m just interested in looking at it, really, that''s it. ".
Thanks.
