I recently purchased a 3/4 ct. diamond from a lady who said it was from Kay and that it was an SI1/SI2 H/I. She said it was purchased 2 years ago for $2229. The setting was no good so I took the diamond out of the setting. It passes almost every home test I could find. I can''t read a newspaper through it, every letter just looks like a funny circle. If I put a dot a on white piece of paper it looks like a bold O when i set the diamond on it. I can only see one line of refraction, if I''m looking in the right place. Under a black light it looks pinkish purple, definately not mustard yellow, but definately not blue. I''m so confused because I took it to a jeweler who diamond tested it and said it was fake
. I was so embarressed I didn''t even ask to have him put it under the loupe I just quickly exited
. It had not been cleaned prior to me taking it in to be tested. Could this cause it to test fake or by the other info I''ve provided can someone tell me what they think? The trouble is I went back to the lady I purchased it from and she was completely insulted and is insisting that she was there when it was purchased. Any help would be much appreciated. My closest jeweler anymore is about 30 minutes away and I''m too embarressed to take it in until I can come to a reasonable conclusion on this.
