Best diamond video on the internet. Clear presentation that nails all the issues why you pay for a high quality diamond that does not perform as it should. Excellent video. Thank you.
This is the only video that explained/showcased florescence in sunlight - the argument is it doesn't matter unless you go to the club with UV ray lighting, but of course the sun has UV rays too! lol
Wow thank you! I love that you actually showed the difference visually, I have been searching for this so long and only your video made it clear to me.
Maybe I'm weird, but I don't like the black splinters you can see in the more reflective diamonds. This is why I ended up going with an old European cut diamond for my engagement ring!
So it is light leakages caused by poor cuts that causes a diamond to look dark? The other factors are inclusions including cloud inclusions. Thank you for such great insights. Best video ever on diamonds I have been able to find in months! 🙏
Absolutely! Also, I found out a long time ago about florescence in a diamond. GIA does grade on this. Mine has no florescence in it. It's REALLY sparkly. I got D color but got good cut. Yes, cut is VERY important as light can leak out of the bottom of the diamond. It's ALL about light that goes in, bounces on all the facets and comes out to the eye! I can't believe people buy stones on line. I would not do that.
How I wish I would have seen this video before getting my diamond. I have a IF, F color and no fluorescence diamond and I just couldn't understand why it looks so "lifeless" compared to my sister's diamond with similar specs. Now I know it's bc of the cutting 😭
EXACTLY! Diamonds have little to no resale value (a fact you learn when you try to sell it), have less sparkle than Moissonite anyway, and have tons of issues connected with variations in cuts, colour, and cloud inclusions! A dreadful deal for the common man (unless you are a celebrity in which case they bring you fame and envy, not everyone’s cup of tea). Missonite is far better and a far better choice because they are flawless in every way (if you are careful to choose Forever One grade) and also eco-friendly (no mining and destruction of the environment!).
@@Indusxstan Lol diamonds are diamonds. Moissanites are Moissanites. Moissanites are diamond alternative. Not all diamonds are made that way. People try to justify that moiss have better fire and clearer but really, it's because it's a lot cheaper. Ethically speaking, it's out of the question because there are diamonds like 'lab' diamonds that are ethically grown.
And the skin that's seen thru the facet makes it darker as opposed to reflecting the light back. Just like mirrors reflect light brighter than a dark window.
I’ve been a diamond setter for 38 years in London and without ever watching this video yet , I would say the stone would be fluorescent, I see it a lot in stones , big ones there just lifeless !!!
I’ve never seen a super ideal cut at a retail jeweler store. I haven’t even seen one on Jane’s Allen or blue Nile. I think a super ideal cut is quite rare.
Hi my diamond has a table 62.5% , 35.5 crown with 41.3 pavillion , 60.8% depth is this considered steep deep. and Is a Culet Abraded diamond considered a defect
My son found a pendant then when I scan online on stone scanner it said diamonds formula C hardness 10 it’s like yellowish color but I still doubt if it’s real or not 😅😅😅😅
Emerald cuts are often cheaper and can look bigger per carat :) but because of how they're cut you will want to make sure there are no noticeable inclusions, however. Did she try some on though? I thought I wanted emerald cut but I felt meh when I put it on. I went with princess in the end (square). Good luck!
@@Aeronauticalwizard thanks for the tip! No she hasn't tried any on. She's just seen photos and thinks they look smart. I think I'll propose with a decoy ring as I'm not sure she'll truly like the emerald cut. Every one I've seen looks a bit meh and lots of inclusions or milky diamonds out there.
@@iamdmc definitely a good idea! I agree, I think they look amazing! But only if they're very large and clear and, to be honest, on very long fingers! You sound sensible, I'm sure she'll say yes 😊🤞
man, buy a better headset mic. we can hear you breathing into the mic. it's uncomfortable to listen to the video, especially at the end. great video, though. thanks
why is the GIA report number wiped out in both diamonds? I want to see the table dimensions and other metrics for each. All you need is the measurements of the report and reference against ideal measurements. was it purposely chosen a very deep cut stone for comparison? I'm sure triple excellent ideal cut would have great light performance either way. Unless you put something side by and look closely for comparison it'll still be a gilttery rock. if you want to max bling, moissanite would do that but not everyone likes the showy shine.
I am shocked at what this man is claiming!What a misleading video for placing nothing but FEAR into consumers who doesn't understand diamonds or fine jewelry so you can sell your " no milky, super ideal cuts". NOT all diamonds with fluorescence appear milky, and showing a milky faint does not represent all stones! I am seriously blown away at this super misleading video you made.

I have a pretty long history of diamond education and this video was great. I learned a few things!
Me too!!
Confused, didn't like the diamond in the first light but then loved it in every other test?
arrows are incredible on that super ideal under LED light...
It's amazing, I guess I've never seen a correctly cut diamond until now🤷
Maybe I'm weird, but I don't like the black splinters you can see in the more reflective diamonds. This is why I ended up going with an old European cut diamond for my engagement ring!
Me either
Antonmursid🙏🙏🙏🙏✌👌💝🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬✌👌💝
Excellent and extremely informative which well help us choose the right marquis cut diamond for the money!
Thanks for your Expert video!
I have a fair cut K color vs2 old European cut diamond and it looks just as good as those...

And where to get that Super Ideal cut?
Damn I'm about to buy a Flawless F Color Diamond Ring No Fluorscense
What would you have did differently?
I love watching you work and I enjoy listening to you speak. Thank you!!!
So is it safe to say the blacker the diamond, the better the light performance?
Excellent knowledge and video. Thank you. I learned so much.
Very knowledgeable video. I am looking at an agi diamond triple excellent. How can I check the light distribution?
I personally prefer the diamond on the left!!
Best explanation I've found on the internet. Easy and thorough! Thank you ❤
Let's not confuse selfishness with love for ourselves, How can we love others if we do not love ourselves? Thank you Abraham for this great reminder!
Thank you so much ! I has no idea about light performance and inclusions.
Thank you for this review. Would this apply to an oval diamond shape too?
Can you explain same thing with a 1ct emerald cut!? Thank you
true, they're just also working with good salary! company is always be! make money, still the worker is human
Diamond is not standard like gold in price n other aspects.. better buy moissanite if u want sparkle n bling

Does light passing through the stone vs. light reflecting off the cuts give better visual effect? Or does the reflection give better visual effect?
Reflection. Any light passed thru the diamond isn’t reflected back to your eye.
And the skin that's seen thru the facet makes it darker as opposed to reflecting the light back. Just like mirrors reflect light brighter than a dark window.
I’ve been a diamond setter for 38 years in London and without ever watching this video yet , I would say the stone would be fluorescent, I see it a lot in stones , big ones there just lifeless !!!
very good presentation. thanks a lot! useful!!
It appears darker because of presence or absence of florescence? 9:00 ' no florescence ' looks darker
Thank you. This video was very helpful.
so the ones with arrows are the best?
excellent content, setting is also important
Killer man. Where is your business located??
Are lab grown diamonds worth buying?
Can you get a bit more fire with a really open setting?
where can I get that titanium looking temporary setting you display at 4:51 (I think you called it a "ring clip")?
You may have saved my ass here!!!
Very informative ! Thank you !
What about phosphorescence? Does that have a similar effect to fluorescence?
Why my diamond look so pupple when tested with uv light?
I’ve never seen a super ideal cut at a retail jeweler store. I haven’t even seen one on Jane’s Allen or blue Nile. I think a super ideal cut is quite rare.
Fantastic video. Thank you.

You say "There can be several reasons for this, where some can be easily resolved". Which ones can be resolved ?
Great information! How do I test light performance on a 3ct oval diamond. Will the Aset scoop work for oval stones?
Good question!
My son found a pendant then when I scan online on stone scanner it said diamonds formula C hardness 10 it’s like yellowish color but I still doubt if it’s real or not 😅😅😅😅
Can you make videos about emerald cut diamonds? my girlfriend doesn't like the regular cuts

I like the one on the left much better

A very deep stone would not have received XXX

Such an informative video 👌🏻
Awesome, thanks
Thank you this is very useful to me
Hi, I just checked my GIA report and it's missing the Cut report. Any reasons why?
I have the same.. I called GIA and they said they don't grade FANCY shapes diamonds..
@@cnidia35 good to know thanks

How much price is of 1 cart? If I order it whether u can send it?

It depends upon the size of the stone.
Poor quality will make it darker. Hence the colour is in the lower grade
