It has all the numbers. It''s in my hand. It''s really a beautiful stone.
The problem is..
It doesn''t match up to the way my old stone looked. It was a beautiful eye catching stone that was blindingly white and sparkled like there''s no tomorrow. A neutral friend at work agreed. All agree it''s beautiful. period.
The new stone, by all accounts is a beautiful stone, but it''s not the same. The specs are great. But, I have to admit, it doesn''t sparkle like the old one. Don''t get me wrong - it does have everything it needs.. but I''m now stuck.
First thing. We went from a well cut F to a well cut H. My husband and I both can see the color, and I can see it''s more warm in certain lights. He is color sensitive more than I, - but I think we can get over that.
I don''t think it was just the color that made it so icy, blinding white. BUTTTT maybe it is. Apples to apples. H&A to H&A. HCA 1 to HCA 1.2
We went down on color to gain size. 1.5ct vs 2.0
So here''s the thing I need you to tell me.
a) Shut up, keep the 2ct stone. You are just being critical because you are part of this pscope forum and you were taught to be.
b) Look for other options, if non show up in short order, keep the beautiful stone you have.
c) Hold out. Wait, or go smaller to get matching performance. If you don''t you''ll forever wish that you did.
