I bought this diamond http://m.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/0.548-i-vs2-round-diamond-ags-104057888042#&ui-state=dialog.. In bedroom lighting it barely sparkles at all even during the daytime. In the bathroom is sparkles very impressively. Kitchen pretty good. Sunlight amazing. In outdoor shade it does not sparkle much. In indoorshade it doesnt sparkle. Is this jormal? Particularly in the bedroom i was surprised there wasnt much sparkle. It is a brian gavin signature ags 000. So i figure its as good as its going to get. Any opinions? I dont have anything to compare it to.

Very common.

Best bet would be to compare it next to another diamond. You'll likely find that it performs at least just as well.

It all depends on the quality of the lighting, direction from which it is coming, is it concentrated or diffuse, what color the walls of the room are, etc. Very common for it to look different i different places. I think sometimes people get unrealistic expectations that ideal cut diamonds have an electrical on switch that makes them practically glow in the dark! ;))

Don't worry - an AGS 000 is as good as it gets. The nuances you are seeing are normal.

Go stand under a tree. You'll get quite an impressive color show!

Pharma, try this. 1st clean the diamond. 2nd find a strand of clear x-mas lights. Plug the lights in and turn off the bedroom lights and observe the way the diamond performs under the x-mas lights.

No worries. A diamond can only reflect back the light - it doesn't produce its own. It would be nice if they sparkled like crazy all the time but that is not to be. However, when the sparkle is there it's beautiful!

I have to laugh-we have Christmas lights in our bathroom-don't ask :angryfire: Bathroom Remodel issue :angryfire: So we have a strand of Christmas lights in there. It is the light my diamond goes most nutso fiery in! It's the last thing I see before bed. Happy Diamond dreams ::)

I am sure your diamond looks great since it is an AGS 000.

I must find some Christmas lights.
