Diamond specs:
1.73 ct
natural diamond
GIA certified
J, SI2
faint fluorescence
clarity grade is based on clouds that are not present
Excellent cut
Very good polish
Excellent symmetry
table 57%
depth 62.4%
thin-medium faceted
36 degrees crown angle
41 degrees pavilion angle
I just received my ring and I looove how it looks. I tried as best as I can to find a diamond within my budget so I do expect some flaws of course. My first impression was "OMG! It looks perfect and so clean!" Then I pointed a flashlight at it about 2 inches away and it looked different. It does the same in direct harsh sun rays. It does not do this in soft sunlight though, only in harsh direct light. So am not sure if I got a good or bad diamond. I love it though and have worn in out and it has looked amazing in all the different lightings I have been in so far. I especially love it in the car it looks like glass it's so clear.
I also took it to a jewelry store and the guy that is in charge of repairing jewelry looked at it with his magnifying glasses and he exclaimed what an excellent cut my stone had and assumed it was a vs clarity. I told him it is not a VS it is actually a SI and he was surprised. He had no mention of haziness.
I have spent countless hours researching and reading posts watching videos and I don't think this is a case of "the diamond is so perfectly cut that it turns dark in direct sunlight". I think this is more of a case of there are clouds present. But why does it look so clear without direct light and then all of a sudden not in harsh direct light? Can anyone help explain why it turns hazy with the flashlight? It is not a UV light it's just a regular flashlight.
I want to share a video but am new here and not sure how to do so.
