My BF recently bought me an e-ring off of Ebay. It has a deep violet oval cut (.82) Tanzanite stone in the center and two accent (.3 total) diamonds. It is really pretty, just the right piece for me. (I don''t have any digital pics of it yet but I will take some and post them as soon as I can.)
There''s just one thing that concerns me and I don''t have the heart to mention it to my BF. When you look at the stone from the top it sparkles very nicely, but only from the middle down. The top half appears very dark and hardly sparkles at all. The really strange thing is when you turn the ring around, it still sparkles from the middle down. What could be causing this? Is it because of the way it was cut? Luckily he didn''t spend too much on it (although to him $1000 is alot).
