[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 12205279, member: 301"]I'm no diamond expert............. for my 1st engagement ring , I bought a 1.1 carat with a wide table to make it look much bigger. It did not sparkle , and neither did she ! for my 2nd , I bought a .75 carat , internally flawless , an F colourless ..... and in any light it threw off intense sparkle !! It was so special that my ex wife's new husband , used it in the ring he gave her !!! ( so my ex still wears the stone , I bought for her..! :inpain: ) I bought a Burmese Sapphire for my current wife....that fixed the diamond debate !;):hungry: Your 1st 3 pics show a stone with no life....... but I'm sure that's just the photography.. The flashlight test ...I don't know how that works , or if it's a good test at all. The stone seems to sparkle , mostly from the left side . I'd rather see it in the sunshine. It could be the cut.... or the flashlight ....or the angle.......but I'm not seeing the dazzling brilliance of an ideal cut stone.[/QUOTE]
