During the search for hopefully my last diamond solitaire, I've pondered a lot about finding scintillation among lab diamonds. I like my current diamond due to its scintillation pattern.
I have a mined RB now, which proportions I was set out to mimic.
They were: 55%t/35.0ca/16%ch/40.8pa/
I quickly found out it was difficult to filter by all specifications, particularly crown height. I was definitely drawn to diamonds with a higher crown height than typical, but couldn't find any near the proportions I was looking for WITH a spin video. I also set out to get something different, I wanted an SI lab diamond, to mimic my current stone, and be something I would be getting if it were mined.
All said, I chose one and have been watching it for months. I loved the imperfectness of it. I scooped it up on a large Ritani sale (price matched LGD, + 30% off setting), additionally they agreed to make some custom changes to the setting free of charge! I'm excited for it to arrive, and will post photos once it does.
Here it is if you want to peek.
I was unable to find anything that spoke to me which had the angles of my current rb, but it started to make me wonder how (or where) one can filter lab diamonds by crown height.
I've poked around the forum and read several posts on scintillation, but still don't quite understand what angles one would look for should they be after it. I love knowledge and would welcome any on the matter.
