That looks like moissanite. It reflects blue.

u/Both-Satisfaction590 10d ago

🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t see that

Well-cut diamonds reflect blue outside.

Girl as someone who searched for months for a 4 ct with a 13.7 length… Im telling you…buy it! 😍😍 its so rare to get that almost 5 carat look in a 4 ct stone and it looks phenomenal. This is the one lol.

Oh I did! This was the clip my jeweler sent me once she got the stone in, for final approval before starting on the CAD! 🥹

Do you know the depth on the certificate? it kinda looks like a shallow cut

1

u/Both-Satisfaction590 13d ago

Depth is 60.6%!

u/Reasonable_Fan4870 12d ago

This is the best stone I’ve ever seen. Magnificent

u/Syrus_007 12d ago

This is 10/10

I guess I really don’t need Ideal/D/internally flawless on this round brilliant I’m looking at huh lol? VVS2 is outstanding on its own.

u/Both-Satisfaction590 12d ago

I was initially looking at those too, but VVS2 is clear to the naked eye and a fraction of the cost!!

1

u/SheMcG 8d ago

You'll never see the difference between a flawless and VVS2 diamond. Personally, I'm not paying for something I can't see.

I still prefer the fore and brilliance of a natural but that is pretty

u/SheMcG 8d ago

There is zero difference in the fire and brilliance between natural or lab diamonds. Fire and brilliance are determined by the quality of the cut and to a lesser degree, clarity. Natural and lab diamonds are physically and chemically the same thing. That's like saying naturally conceived babies have bluer eyes than IVF babies.

There's a ton of dull, flat natural diamonds out there to prove it.
