Loving the fire on the current stone motivated me to discuss the future Huh! I think in a couple of years (knock on wood!) we might be looking at completely different ideas. We will see then. For now, I enjoy my little ring fire :
Your suggestion reminded me that many years ago I was looking at some diamond solitaires at T & Co and was in a private viewing room with the sales associate. I went to do exactly what you said, to see what the ring looked like without all the fancy lights. I was admonished by the sales associate and told that I must keep the ring within view of the associate!
Diamond A: too deep pavilion
Diamond B: Length and width different by 0.05mm, not very symmetric, it is also a little bit shallow.
Overall, I think B will slightly outperform A in light performance.
Congrats on your new ring - it is beautiful! Your pictures are really very good and I am so happy for you that you are enjoying your new ring so much!!
Is your wedding band the Tiffany Embrace? Tell us about the specs of it too please! You will have to be careful about the girdles of the wedding band not eating into the prongs of your new ring. Have you considered a spacer to wear between the two rings?
Of course you are totally right. I am not sure how much these factors would affect the light performance of the diamond. Maybe a lot. I do not have enough knowledge to judge it. Do you know how it works? Could you please explain it to me? Or post some pics for comparison? I’d love to compare and learn.
It did worry me a bit that the stone was not completely round. But now that I had a chance to live with it for a week I just think: symmetry, schmigetry It sparkles like crazy anyway!
I know very well that is is not perfect. It is not flawless, only VVS2. Perhaps if I let the ants crawling into my living room live and permanently refrain from ever having tuna sashimi again, in the next life I'll get better Karma and some super amazing flawless diamond. But for now, this one is nice enough for me
I am really wondering how other people diamonds must sparkle if this is what I get from my imperfect stone under simple sunlight. Of course, there is always room for improvment so I’d love to see some other pics for inspiration. Thanks!
These ones are just from today - my new hobby .
I would absolutely love to see some pictures of the perfect diamonds out there. Do they sparkle even more? I imagine they must be just fabulous.
Hey,
Thank you!
I have only learned about spacers from reading the forum. I have tried a 2 mm one at Tiffany’s but I did not love the look of it so I am having a 1 mm made. However, Tiffany’s assured me that this combination of wedding ring and the e-ring would be safe as long as they all come in for a yearly “check up”, which Tiffany’s guarantees for life anyway. They have told me that they can polish the prongs.
I’d better be safe than sorry so I am having the thinest possible spacer made from platinum. If I won’t like it, I won’t wear it but why not have one just in case?
I am not sure what the name of my wedding ring is. My husband would have to look it up. It is basically Tiffany’s round diamonds going around the finger. Just like a tennis bracelet but smaller
P.S.
I have just checked and the wedding ring is Tiffany’s Embrace. I am not sure how many carats it was but it was the biggest they had at the time. It is very sturdy and sparkly. It looks fabulous on its own or in combination with an e-ring.
It makes a beautiful set - I thought it was the Embrace. Glad you are going to try a spacer. Not sure anyone is crazy about the idea but you are correct - better safe than sorry!
Enjoy your rings as they are truly lovely!!
Thank you for your helpful suggestions! So many people just say, ah nee, not gonna say anything. Please, always let me know what I could do better! How am I supposed to learn otherwise?

How do you like an H color? (mine pictured is an H as well - at first I was hesitant but it turned out to look so white - even from the side view.) I read that you were able to see the difference between G and H. I was also picking between these two colors and almost had my eyes crossed but could not see a difference. Not one bit and I checked them unmounted upside down. Maybe, if they both were under a controlled environment... but who check stones that way once mounted? So I picked an H - better (to me) stats and fire.
Also, I would like to see your ring from the profile as well if you do not mind - mine look so similar to yours. I love looking at the classic Tiffany settings.
Since you asked, here is mine in a direct sunlight.
