So, the boyfriend and I have been looking around for diamonds for a little while now and (I know this is going to sound horrible but..) I''m kind of getting burnt out on it. I feel like we''ve looked at sooo many diamonds and I still haven''t found one that grabs me.
Every article that I''ve read on SI1 diamonds tells me that they''re supposed to be eye clean. Whenever we''ve asked to see an SI1 diamond, they''ve just made me feel like... blech..
If you glance at them really quickly they look find, but when you start looking at it seriously, (without a loupe) they''re so dirty!!
Are we going to jewelers that are trying to screw us over or am I just looking too intently? If it''s me, then we''ll have to go with VS2.
If it''s the jewelers... then we''ll have to keep looking.
Also... another question on the side... what kind of lighting should we expect when we go to a good reliable jeweler? Should we expect to be able to look at the diamond under sunlight?
I''m sorry if I sound like a miserable person, but I thought this was going to be a fun fun process. Like shoe shopping! But it hasn''t. What''s even more frustrating is that his wedding band is going to be sooo easy!
Not fair.
