So, my first diamond was an OEC. I just really fell in love with the faceting and the patterns and never even thought to compare it side to side with a MRB. In these threads I tend to see that MRBs have superior light performance and I never really understood what that translates to in terms of what you see.
After wearing the ring daily I have figured out that the only light settings I'm not a fan of is when the light is not strong, directly overhead and I'm looking at the diamond straight on. In these scenarios, my head is totally obstructing the facets underneath the table. When I put my hand up and the light is directly behind my diamond, the facets are gorgeous and reminds me why I picked this diamond. Also if I slightly tilt the stone, the center facets come right back to life
I guess to cut to the point, are MRBs less likely to suffer from this phenomena, or is this a characteristic that is in every round diamond?
I really like my stone, but I do wonder what about the cut causes this and do MRBs not suffer quite as dramatically as OECs with this regard?
Sorry if this topic has been covered before, I wouldn't mind getting some links to threads (I just couldn't quite find a thread myself after many hours spent looking). Hope some experts can chime in. Thanks!
