I just got an upgrade for my anniversary. I chose an IF D 1.59 carat modified brilliant cushion cut. The stone is so perfect that all I chose for the setting was a plain platinum solitaire with invisible halo. It’s pure 🔥 and sparkles in the dark I’m very happy. I just didn’t want round after years of it.
There are three points to be made: 1. Never buy any diamond that is not engraved. 2. Always look at a minimum of three stones in the same price range, at the same time, and under the same light. 3. When you buy from the display case, don't let them clean it for you, don't let them take it anywhere, don't let them wrap it for you, and don't let it out of your sight. Why #1 #2, & #3? 1. Jewelers mostly subcontract their repair work out and these subcontractors (like you or I) can buy inferior stones online and have them delivered in a couple of days. So...they will see your stone, which in not engraved, evaluate it (that's their line of work), and order one that is the same size, but cheaper, by a few hundred dollars. When the lesser stone arrives they swap your nicer stone for the lesser stone. To prevent this you must own an engraved stone (even if it's lab grown) or you must stand and watch the repair being made. 2. When three diamonds are viewed next to each other...one will jump out at your eyes. The other two will be returned to the supplier and eventually they will be sold site unseen online. Online buyers never know that they're buying retail store rejects. 3. When you buy something out of a display case, you need to know that it is available in bulk. That is, the Jeweler has two or three just like it in the back safe. Nothing wrong with that as there is an annual Jewelry Show in Las Vegas every Memorial Day(ish), but remember that the Jeweler puts their nicest one in the display case.
Again more misconceptions from people with no education or experience with gemstones. *Older diamonds - especially something like an old mine cut which can be extremely valuable - will not always have a laser inscription*
@@touchmycamerathroughthefence When you own an un engraved diamond and you need to have it cleaned or repaired, the jeweler can spend $14.50 to have a similar, but lesser quality stone shipped to him, within 2 days. He can swap your nicer stone and make more money. If your stone wasn’t engraved, you will be stuck with a inferior diamond.
@@sjay149 You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and it's laughable that you would post your comments publicly 😂😂😂 What do you think the point of a plot is on a certificate? Do you even know what a plot and certificate are? It isn't even called 'engraving', it's laser inscribing. You're a joke 😂
It's the antique cut cushion that is vintage and neither of the diamonds shown are antique. A lot of people love that cut though. I think the cushion cut is beautiful, I just don't like the crushed ice (modified) for the same reason I don't like the radiant cut - not nearly enough sparkle. The brilliant cushion (standard) is the one I think is beautiful. BTW cushion was the trend in the first decade of the 2000's which was replaced by the oval and rumor has it the pear shape is next. I also don't like the oval and pear cuts due to the ugly bow tie effect they have, it ruins the entire diamond.

Cushion cuts look ugly... Ancient.
