The downsides of a super ideal cut that no one ever talks about

[adlgel]

<humorfont> I know most folks on this forum are all gung ho about super ideal cut diamonds. But there's a downside to these stones that no one ever talks about. I sit at a desk in our home office that faces a window. When the sunlight streams in at just the right angle, usually between 8:30 am and 9:30 am now, my Whiteflash ACA reflects all over the walls as I type. And the kittens GO CRAZY! Our one guy just keeps jumping up against the walls trying to catch the moving flashes of light. He might pull a muscle. I've had to start spinning my ring around so it's underneath my finger until the sun rises high enough in the sky. No one told me this could happen. </humorfont>

Or perhaps when you blind that unsuspecting driver in traffic when your hand is hanging out the window? Maybe take out an entire plane section of folks who think it's a disco if you sit next to a window seat on a plane before takeoff on a sunny day? LOL..

Or in my house, anything shiny that catches the light, including stainless steel pans/cookware. They chirp and talk at the light patches and try to get them on the ceiling and walls. It's pretty funny.

An expensive alternative to a laser pointer, however, it would probably last a lot longer with no consumables and parts that could break, just need sunlight!

I actually have had people comment on the reflections from my ring on a plane before

My husband thinks it’s funny to reflect the sun off his watch into my face when we are flying until I notice and punch him in the arm. Lol

I do that to my husband with my diamond when we are at a stoplight. He gets even with his watch.
