[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 12206636, member: 2844"]Afaik, a flashlight test is used on an unmounted stone if you want to know if it is a diamond. It isn't conclusive, but some people find it helpful. You stone is mounted, and you already know it is a diamond. I'm not sure what you want us to see, but what I see is a ring at some distance with what looks like a brilliant cut diamond, some of its facets occasionally catching the light of the flashlight. Not to put your diamond down, but the video and photos don't give us any information other than this. I have a smaller, flawless natural diamond that sparkles like mad and flashes every colour of the rainbow when I move it about in the sunlight. Not saying mine is better, diamonds do that. I'm sure the fact that yours doesn't has to do with the way you showed your diamond, not the stone itself. Not the reaction you were expecting, but I do agree, the thick black onyx band distracts from the diamond. The jeweller should have warned you about the proportions, the diamond should be the star of the ring.[/QUOTE]
