Saw this lab-grown diamond ring recently and the way it handles light is honestly pretty unusual.
At certain angles it almost stops looking like a ring and starts looking like some kind of floating crystal loop.
Would be interesting to hear what people think of this style in person.
One thing I didn’t realize at first is how much facet patterns change the look of a cushion cut diamond.
Some cushions give bold chunky flashes.
Some look more balanced.
Others have that glittery crushed ice sparkle.
What surprised me most was how differently they perform depending on the lighting too.
Personally, I tend to prefer chunkier facet patterns in normal lighting, but I can definitely see why people love crushed ice sparkle under direct light.
Which one would you actually choose?
