In this video, we review a D colorless diamond that is at the top of the GIA color scales and shows you how it looks like on a finger. This super ideal cut round diamond is from James Allen's signature line and a solitaire ring design with 6 prongs was selected to complete the ring.
This ring setting looks very identical to the Tiffany ring setting and yet, it has a better cut diamond and the ring only costs less than half the price it would at Tiffany's. Having a 6 prong solitaire ring also improves the security of the center stone without compromising too much on letting light into the ring.
So, how do you know this diamond has better cut quality than those you find in branded stores? Well, that's because there's tangible data in idealscope, aset and hearts and arrows patterning image to back that up.
In the first portion of the video, we examine the ring on my hand under spotlight and outdoor natural lightings. Immediately, you can see the diamond bursts into life and reflect different colors of the spectrum as fire. The brilliance and patterning of this ring also makes it an attention grabber.
Now, what I also want to mention here is that the diamond looks really white and that's partly because of the D color rating but it is attributed more to the excellent cut rating it has.
In other lightings that are more muted, the diamond also faces up white and displays good contrast patterning. Also, you might have noticed that this diamond is a VVS1 clarity diamond and that's a really high grade which costs a price premium. In truth, you don't need such a high clarity diamond as an eyeclean VS2 will look just as good if it is well cut.
The reason I chose this VVS1 diamond was to perform comparisons against lower clarity diamonds in another separate video.
i absolutely love how the diamond behaves and interacts with light and this is my benchmark when I'm buying a diamond ring. At the end of the day, if you are like most people buying an engagement ring, would you prefer it to have more sparkle or less sparkle? More life or dull?
After watching this video, I want to hear you views. What did you think about the engagement ring? Did you like what you see and also prioritize cut quality over other Cs? (If you don't like my man-hands, you can leave a feedback as well).
