Just voicing my opinion. I spent all this time searching for perfect ideal cuts with all of the great angles yada yada yada. Meanwhile my wife (who is a very neat and orderly person) is now wearing the ring and I have noticed that it no longer sparkles. It is because it is dirty. But I have also noticed that it does not take much – greasy finger print, light wind with some dust in the air, even lint from pockets and it knocks that brilliance and sparkle down to nothing. My wife’s old ring (nicknamed “frozen spit”) looks similar to her new ring. When I told her that she needs to clean it to keep it sparkling she replied “why would I bother it looks great to me.” So in the end I could have easily bought a good cut and saved a ton of money and even possibly bought a much bigger stone. My lesson is not to get caught in the numbers game because for most, good enough will likely suffice. I just happen to be a diamond junkie because of pricescope!!!
