Hello Ladies,
My boyfriend and I made plans to get engaged soon. We both picked the diamond out. Well actually I picked out three and he picked out one from those. He told me that he knows nothing about diamonds and I know a lot more than him. He asked what setting I want and I said either single halo or double halo. He got the diamond ring custom made. We live together so when he got the ring he told me. While I was in the shower he told me he hid the ring. A few weeks later I did our laundry and was folding his clothes and putting them away. I saw one drawer was messy and over flowing with clothes. So I took them out to re-fold. I saw a white rectangular box into one of the folded shirts. I thought it was empty and wanted to throw it out. However I decided to double check in case he put something in it. I opened it and found another smaller box in it. I opened it and saw my ring. It looks beautiful. It looks icy white but it didn't really sparkle like crazy. I took it to the window where the sun was shining and it also didn't really sparkle. It just looks super clear probably because its a D color. I assumed it didnt really sparkle because cushion diamonds don't really sparkle that much. After looking at it for about two minutes I put it away the the way I I found it. While re-folding his other clothes the GIA certificate fell out. He isn't the best at hiding things. LOL The GIA certificate said

I looked at Lumera Diamonds I believe the website is called to help me pick out a good cushion diamond. My diamond looks amazing except when I did the calculation for ratio (5.62 ÷ 5.20) = 1.08. On the website it says that the ratio of 1.08 is either fair or poor. I know I am responsible for this diamond, because it was one of the three I picked out but I over looked at the ratio. I was concerating on the other specifics. I also didn't specifically want a D color I wanted D-G. This diamond just happened to be a D color. Anyway, the diamond looks icy white and clear. But it doesnt really sparkle too much. I am worried its because the ratio is considered "fair" or "poor." It has been really bothering especially after my boyfriend and I went to the mall and while he went into clothing store I went to the Tiffany store across. I saw cushion diamonds both with and without a halo and they all sparkled like crazy. I don't understand how that is possible. I used Lumera Diamonds criteria to pick my diamond and all of it is excellent. The only thing I over looked is ratio which is fair/poor.
Is my diamond bad because of the fair/poor ratio?
