Hey Folks,
Been lurking this website for the last few weeks and just pulled the trigger on the diamond listed below.
It came with 360 degree picture and I thought the GCAL and GIA documents looked great. All of the numbers that I looked at seemed to be within rules of thumb. Maybe it's just a cloudy day, but light just doesn't seem to radiate out of the table the way I would expect. Also, although it is VVS2, it has two small scratches on the table.
I also accompanied with this ring (Cathedral Pave), and feel the prongs are just too big for a 1 carat ring.
I can't tell if I'm expecting too much from this diamond, or if I made an obvious mistake in shopping. Please help!
