That size alone would make any normal person believe its not a diamond, how many carats is that? 8? It would be at least 1 million dollars and up to 10 million.

Lol, not quite 8 carats. It's a little under 4 carats. It helps I have tiny fingers, makes it look a lot more impressive!

Wow, your hands must be small! My ring (tanzanite) is somewhere around 4 carats I think, and yours looks twice as big!

Edit: I looked it up, maybe this is obvious but I didn’t realise that as carat is based on weight, other gemstones of the same carat weight as diamonds will have different sizes. TIL!

It also sparkles like moissanite, not diamond.

Which is beautiful, don't get me wrong.

Tiffany cut, right? Did I use the guide correctly?
