Return it. It is flawed A 11/2 carat ring should cost $12,000 & up. They probably showed you the pic of a higher quality diamond to get you to purchase it. Go to a jewelers website like Zales & they'll explain the four C's. Carat Cut Color Clarity

Depending on the price you paid, you could have got what you paid for. There are different cuts and grades of diamonds, from ok to superior. I would suggest you take it to your local jeweler and ask them what they think.

Answer: Nothing's wrong with it. Diamonds are a naturally ...

Nothing's wrong with it. Diamonds are a naturally occurring rock which means they are going to have some sort of flaw in them, discolorations, spots. What you are seeing is a spot of carbon. When you can't see any flaw at all with a very good loupe then it's most likely a CZ. One of the 1/3ct stones inengagement ring has a very tiny black spot in it that I can only see with a loupe. The center 2/3ct stone is slightly very pale yellow in color. These are all things naturally occurring in real diamonds.

Answer: All diamonds have flaws, the better the clarity the less ...

All diamonds have flaws, the better the clarity the less flaws the more $$$. I have never seen a diamond with a 'black spot' and I don't think it should have a black spot in it....unless it is a black diamond!! When you are purchasing stones you need to check the 5 C'S---clarity, color, carat, cut and certification. You want your diamond to have a prism/sparkle effect when you look at it---hence, the term bling. Take it to a jeweler that has a diamond expert on staff and have it tested and appraised. Also, check with the company you bought it from about there return policy.

Answer: Check the paperwork that should have come with your diamond. ...

Check the paperwork that should have come with your diamond. There should be something that mentions the GIA grading system. Most diamonds have some inclusions or flaws, but those should be disclosed when you purchase the gem whether you buy online or in-person from a jeweler. Your diamond probably falls into the Included (I) category listed below. The GIA diamond grading scale is divided into six categories and eleven grades.The clarity categories and grades are: -Flawless category (FL) diamonds that no inclusions or blemishes are visible under 10x magnification. -Internally Flawless category (IF) diamonds have no inclusions visible under 10x magnification, only small blemishes on the diamond surface. -Very, Very Slightly Included category (VVS) diamonds have minute inclusions that are difficult for a skilled grader to see under 10x magnification. The VVS category is divided into two grades; VVS1 denotes a higher clarity grade than VVS2. Pinpoints and needles set the grade at VVS. -Very Slightly Included category (VS) diamonds have minor inclusions that are difficult to somewhat easy for a trained grader to see when viewed under 10x magnification. The VS category is divided into two grades; VS1 denotes a higher clarity grade than VS2. Typically the inclusions in VS diamonds are invisible without magnification, however infrequently some VS2 inclusions may still be visible to the eye. An example would be on a large emerald cut diamond which has a small inclusion under the corner of the table. -Slightly Included category (SI) diamonds have noticeable inclusions that are easy to very easy for a trained grader to see when viewed under 10x magnification. The SI category is divided into two grades; SI1 denotes a higher clarity grade than SI2. These may or may not be noticeable to the naked eye. -Included category (I) diamonds have obvious inclusions that are clearly visible to a trained grader under 10x magnification. Included diamonds have inclusions that are usually visible without magnification or have inclusions that threaten the durability of the stone. The I category is divided into three grades; I1 denotes a higher clarity grade than I2, which in turn is higher than I3. Inclusions in I1 diamonds often are seen to the unaided eye. I2 inclusions are easily seen, while I3 diamonds have large and extremely easy to see inclusions that typically impact the brilliance of the diamond, as well as having inclusions that are often likely to threaten the structure of the diamond.

Question: Diamond Ring Sized question??

I had my diamond ring sized last week and when I got it back I noticed a white looking line/crack coming from one of the prongs holding in.. Is there anyway that having it sized could do that?/ I m not sure what it could be?? I have never noticed it before.. The white line/crack is on the diamond its self.

Answer: doesn't hurt to take it back to the jeweler and ask them ...

doesn't hurt to take it back to the jeweler and ask them about it and have them look at it. it would be a shame if you didn't and the prong broke off causing you to lose the diamond.

Answer: Generally no, that kind of flaw would not show up after a ...

Generally no, that kind of flaw would not show up after a sizing. However, it can't hurt to take it back to the jeweler who sized it and ask them what you are seeing.

Question: I thinking about having my diamond earrings soldered onto my diamond solitare ring. How much would this cost?

Also would it look cheap, I just want more diamonds on my finger! haha!! The price of a new setting would be way too much, i've looked into it. It would cost around $300 just for the setting. I was hoping the soldering would only be around $100 or less. Anybody have any clues if i'm in the right ballpark, let me know! I've tried lookinf it up online but have gotten nowhere. Okay, Thanks!

Answer: You would probably be better off finding a different setting ...

You would probably be better off finding a different setting and have the diamonds put in the new setting. I don't know what your solitaire ring looks like, so it's hard to say what it would look like. It might be cheaper getting the setting, plus if you don't like it, then your stuck with it. Best of luck. EDIT: Well if you know it's about $100 to have them set, then just go to a trusted jeweler and have them set it. Like I said earlier, it's hard to judge what it would look like since I don't know what your solitaire looks like. You can get an estimated price from the jeweler also, that would be your best bet.

Answer: You're going to have a hard time finding a jeweler who ...

You're going to have a hard time finding a jeweler who would be willing to destroy a perfectly good solitaire mounting, and perfectly good earring mountings, by removing the posts on the earrings, and soldering the baskets to your solitaire. Not only will it look horrible, and an obvious patch-job, but the baskets in an earring mounting look nothing like the head of a ring mounting. It's going to look extremely cheap, and lessen the overall value of your ring. Seriously, save some money, and do it right. You are going to completely regret doing something as insanely stupid as this. Plan to spend at least $300 for a mounting, and another $100-200 for all the labor involved.

Question: Why does the diamond in my wedding ring look bright blue in pictures?

It is a 2 carat princess cut stone. In some pictures the stone looks blue, almost like a bright turquoise.

Answer: The lighting contrasting to the reflection on the flash in ...

The lighting contrasting to the reflection on the flash in the camera might cause the color of the stone to change. Try different lighting to see if that solves the problem. Also, your diamond might be a special type of stone that changes when you enter some sort of different surrounding.( Going outside of a classroom.) I know it sounds strange, butfriends mom is a gemist and she has taught me plenty of things!

Answer: You probably have some fluorescence in your diamond. ...

You probably have some fluorescence in your diamond. Fluorescence is a characteristic that makes some diamonds appear to change color when they are exposed to the ultraviolet light that surrounds us every day in sunlight and in the light produced by fluorescent light bulbs.Nothing to be concerned about.

Try any jeweler. He/she can help you design a ring, or you can buy the setting and stones separately.

Answer: Any independent jeweler will be more then happy to build a ...

Any independent jeweler will be more then happy to build a ring to your specific wants - please bear in mind, opals are extremely soft, and can chip or crack very easily. He/she may try to dissuade you from putting them in a ring you will wear everyday. If you really want it, they will do it, but they will bear no responsibility for the stones if they are damaged.
