Ok so let me start by saying I'm a bit OCD on the diamond buying process. A few months ago my beloved engagement ring was stolen from our home by workers working on some punch list items. It was pretty traumatic. I have since been looking for a new engagement ring. I purchased one on a whim and very quickly returned it after brushing up on my 4 C's and educating myself. I made the dreaded mistake of buying from Jared (insert gasp, it's ok). After quickly realizing I paid way more than needed on a diamond with only a cut quality of good I ran back and returned it. After doing hours and hours and hours of research I stumbled upon the idea of buying online. I found a setting I really loved through Blue Nile and found what I hope is a great diamond. It's a 1.10 carat, GIA certified diamond. Excellent cut (I won't compromise cut) color I, VVS2, only possible downside is it had a strong blue flour. I paid around $4900 for the diamond. I have probably done more research on Flour than someone studying to be a gemologist right now and my head just continues to spin. The diamond seems to be beautiful. Under certain lights its absolutely gorgeous, crystal clear and can't even tell it's an I color the under more direct light it's not so great looking. It's like I can see little speckles inside of it like dust or something. I guess my question is how do you know if flour has a negative effect or not. Would it appear "milky" all the time or only in certain situations? I just need to make sure I don't need to go back to the drawing board before my 30 days is up. I am just so unsettled about this whole process. I'm going to try to upload a couple of images. Any thoughts are extremely helpful! I need to make a decision whether I'm sending this diamond back or keeping it.
