I went to a local jeweler who brought in diamonds for me to see, I''m looking for .5-.7 carat diamond to update my wedding ring. She brings out several diamonds and I pick one to put on hold that seems brighter, but truely they look very similar. They all look pretty to me. When I ask for angle info, she says that you can''t buy a diamond by numbers, you have to see it and pick one that sparkles, and that she''s seen diamonds that look great by the numbers but don''t perform visually. She had a brilliance scope? and said it showed in the medium range. There was 60 and 60 on the front EGL cert so I assume that was table and depth percentages, and "good'' on something else, I didn''t get a good look. It was $1900 for .54 carats.
I know you experts out there can pick out the average from the great, but for fellow newbies--Have you seen those diamonds picked out by the preferred vendors on this site and are they really better? Have you seen them live and side by side and do the ones with perfect numbers really look better?
