Hello
Can you guys give me some info on this diamond? There is no returning at this point but still interested in info.
GIA 2173828064
I've been lurking around trying to learn about stones and not sure if I am grasping it all. Looking at the report and seeing what I see from posts about other stones this is what I think I understand about this diamond:
1. The depth is too deep, so paying for weight no one will see.
2. The IF is unnecessary, hikes up the price and probably would have been better put towards an excellent cut for better performance.
3. The HCA gives it a 4.8 which as I understand it's not a good rating.
I personally feel that it's a small stone, whish it was larger (larger spread? not sure if that is right) but then again don't most. Though it is likely my untrained eye but I do feel it sparkles like crazy outside and oddly enough in my bathroom that has yellow lights. It just doesn't do well under the office lights at work which are fluorescent bulbs. Is it possible for this stone to perform well despite the issues? Also, it says no fluorescence but a few days ago outside on a super sunny day, I swore it looked bluish to me. Is that what they mean by fluorescence? I read about the black light thing to check fluorescence but haven't tried that. Also I see this like line in the middle of the diamond when I view it from the side, I'm not sure if it's the cut, a reflection or a crack. And I also see rainbows which I read real diamonds shouldn't have, and this confuses me as I think of them as prism. Are rainbows okay, part of the fire or what? No idealscope images, would have loved to have seen some.
