Maybe she could get the time stone, go back in time, and pick out a prettier ring!!Scarlett J. could get one of the infinity stones and took this one....
Honestly, it is not fun to be the odd one out, but I think this thread is disrespectful. Sorry. I love PS and the kind attitude mostly shown here.
I don’t think Scarlett cares what PS or anyone else thinks of her ring. There’s a whole celebrity e-ring thread on PS, and people give their open and honest opinions about their pieces. No one is saying she’s a horrible person, I was just asking for opinions on the gem because that’s what we love to do here, discuss gems.
As for private individuals showing their pieces on this forum, I personally believe negative comments aren’t warranted, unless someone asks for an honest opinion. However that’s JMO. it’s a free and open forum to discuss opinions, negative or positive, in a respectful way.

i agreeI don't think the reaction would be thaw same If a private individual came on ps tp share this as their ring. For better or worse, being a celebrity creates more of an opening for criticism. I don't think it's disrespectful personally, it's part of the deal of being in the public eye. The trade off is living a life of unparalleled luxury/glamour and i guess some are surprised with all those resources this is what she chose. I still like it.
Type IIa diamonds are free from nitrogen or hydrogen. They are transparent for SW UV ( diamond spotter but you can easily build your own with a piece of scheelite, a SWUV lamp and an not transparent box - put the lamp in the box, turn it on and put the diamond on a little hole in the box - put the scheelite above the diamond and if the scheelite glows blue it is a IIa - Ia or Ib and the scheelite will be inert). Protect always your eyes using UV light.
Plastic deformation is responsilbe for most brown diamonds - the rare IIa can be „repaired“ by HPHT and transformed in colorless diamond.
The Argyle diamonds are mostly Ia with different nitrogen content - often IaA<B.

I haven't seen the other thread, and I was probably too harsh in my opinion of the ring. I like unusual designs, I just think the setting does nothing for the stone. I think a yellow gold, pendant setting and some accent stones would make the color pop better. But I apologize if my comment was offensive. I would never criticise someone's ring on here and hurt their feelings.I may have overreacted because I happened to read the thread in hangout too on the same subject and didnt notice that it was not the same thread as this one. I thought they were the same and felt it was a bit much. Sorry. *Bows out*
Stumbled on this earlier - a great graphic on the atomic differences between the various diamond types is not far from the top of the page!Type IIa diamonds are free from nitrogen or hydrogen.

I agree, more prongs would make me less nervous about wearing it. But if it came out you'd hear it hit the ground.Needs more prongs to secure it but I like it! Looks sparkly and it’s a bright almost yellowish FCD.
