Wow, thank you so much! This has been a comment that is really helping me to just stop obsessing, and appreciate my diamond for what it is... It really is beautiful and I do feel lucky to have it!! I just want to edit to add- My ring looked like crap IN the jewelry store, where I thought diamonds were meant to look their best haha.
Nah, my diamonds often look like shit in jewelery stores too! They look super tinted and dark -- its just what spot lighting does to well cut diamonds. I guess maybe it makes poorly cut diamonds look better? ANyway, spot lighting/pot lighting has never been my favourite place to look at diamonds. I like indirect lighting like sitting in a room with my hand up in front of a window or sitting under a tree. Then you see the scintillation. Each person has some characteristic they love about their particular diamond's performance. You just have to learn your diamond's personality.
