Ring Clarity, Flaws, and Facets Question
by Stephanie
Hi! My fiance and I really like a ring that includes a center stone that is colorless but si2 clarity. Under the microscpoe we saw a feather-like mark at the top of the diamond. I could see this feather with my naked eye (i think) and my fiance counld not. I love this ring but do you think it matters that it includes this flaw (the flaw is also why it is priced so well). It is a round cut center stone surrounded by paves. Is it wrong to get so hung up on the clarity? its not like its a big crack in the diamond just a fingerprint right?
Also a seperate question. Another jewlery store we looked into offered diamonds cut with extra facets to give the diamonds more sparkle. Does this sound like a gimmck to you? Would the extra facets detract value from the diamond?
