Here at Good Old Gold we love to educate our customers before they purchase any jewelry. Originally on RU-vid we started out as a diamond only information source. However, as we grow you’ll see more and more videos on all aspects of what we do here at Good Old Gold.
Beautiful indeed! If you're in search for something like that, feel free to contact sales@goodoldgold.com and we'll see if we can help you find what you're looking for as most of the diamond we have access to don't make it to our website.
They sparkled the same amount to me. The only thing is the very good cut grade has a dead zone and the excellent has it’s fire and sparkle throughout the whole face.
Would a regular jeweler show you these kind of different lightings to help you make a decision? Additionally is it reasonable to ask them for DiamXray and Aset “scans” for lack of a better word
Does an elongated cushion cut make it more difficult to get the correct cut? I’m looking for a brilliant/antique look but most elongated stones I see is the crushed ice
Yes, when it comes to elongated cushions, people usually have a harder time finding the non-crushed ice version. But if you'd like assistance, feel free to contact sales@goodoldgold.com with your inquiry and we'll be happy to assist you in this difficult search for "your perfect" diamond.
Great video!!! How much for a natural fancy intense 1.15 carat cut cornered Rectangular modified Brilliant cushion SI2 GIA certified?? It has a strong blue fluorescent.
Thanks for your feedback! It does sometimes seem like the visual difference between certain colors are often wider than others. For example, many of our customers notice the difference between I-J colored diamond more than G-H colored diamonds. It's not always the case, but seems like a trend.
Thank you for sharing. I wanted to know if 5 carat asscher would be too big on my hand. 6 1/4 is my size. I think it is not too big and will be perfect.
Hi. Asschers face up smaller than some other shapes. So for example, a 5ct asscher will probably face up more like a 3.5ct Round, so I think you'd be safe. If you contact sales@goodoldgold.com via email, we'd be happy to send you a computer-generated photo of a 5ct Asscher would look like on that finger size.
We have a 2.8 carat D diamond with medium fluorescence but now I’m wondering if we should have gone for none fluorescence. Does it significantly reduce the value?
A diamond like that might be around 1-3k less (give or take), but if the retail price was adjusted accordingly upon purchase, it should balance out from an investment standpoint. The introduction of lab grown diamonds, however, have impacted the value of natural diamonds to a greater extent (in my opinion), and unlike a diamond with fluorescence, most people didn't see this coming.
You're welcome. I'd recommend bringing the diamond in direct natural sunlight (with another diamond alongside of it for comparison). If the diamond looks noticeably hazy, then it's most likely one of the hazy ones. Odds are it's not going to be hazy, but there's indeed a possibility.
I love it I really love how elegant it looks ❤for my future husband or bo I ll be so blessed to have someone who think of me in this way and see how valuable I am for him ❤
I can't believe this information is free! I've just reserved a 1.50 carat F VS1 modified brilliant (crushed ice) and im seriously considering getting the more classic Brilliant but i need to go to the shop and see again. Thanks for all this information, i also frlt the crushed ice "leaks" light - ill come back in a few months and let you know what i decided 🙏
We're glad that you're able to put our videos to good use and we wish you the best of luck with your purchase! If you end up hitting roadblock and need personal assistance at any point in the future, feel free to keep us in mind as we should be able to beat anyone's prices when matching apples to apples on diamonds!
you posted this vid 15 years ago. quality video showing the differences. i was curious as im buying a pendant with H&A cut and this helped explain perfectly. thank you
Diamonds with medium fluorescence are indeed real diamonds. The purpose of this video was to compare a diamond with no fluorescence alongside one that has medium fluorescence. By doing this, the audience can analyze the visual differences (or lack thereof) for themselves. Compared to us verbally describing what we see (which can sometimes be swayed by personal opinion), we prefer the method of showing the customers the comparison and letting their own eyes make the determination since beauty is often in the eye of the beholder.
Good question. It really comes down to personal preference, but if I'm going asscher, I like to clearly see the step cuts in it. Once we go below 3/4's of a carat and given my vision, I have a harder time noticing them. So, I'd personally be looking for options that are at least 3/4's of a carat and if I could go even larger, the better in my opinion.
Yes, most round diamonds will face up larger than asschers. However oval diamonds tend to look larger as well due to their length. Therefore, I believe the primary reasons why round diamonds outsell the ovals is due to personal shape preference and enhanced brilliance.
Yea, they definitely sell for a high price point. So high that we've had many customers get these larger size diamonds in lab grown in an effort to significantly reduce the cost.
That's a good question. Although rare these days, there are round brilliants that come with culets. If the available one's are not the exact specs you're looking for, we should be able to find one without a culet and cut a culet ourselves.
