Yes, they might be the hardest substance on earth but they do break :yes: I broke one, a round brilliant, by whacking it on a door frame. It broke at the table, the very top. Sheared straight through the diamond. Ruined it completly, the other was a 2.0 princess, I have no idea how I did it. It sheared straight through the middle. Sometimes in diamonds there are weak areas like where a inclusion rests and if it is hit hard enough in the right spot it will break. It looks alot like a piece of glass that has been hit by a BB, the part inside and around the BB area kwim it has been sheared into two pieces. I hope I've explained it clear enough :yes:

that is why the clarity of a diamond is very important factor considerably.

With GIA grading, I would rather to get the vvs1 in H than the vs1 in G color.

Indeed:yes: it is always better to go higher even if you have to go smaller. The Venus is going to be a good diamond for me since the crystal is in the lower half of the diamond and of course I won't get to wear it much :laugh:

:) I think I've made up my mind! I love the bead setting so I am going with that with four prongs for the Venus and two 2.0 eternity bands in the bead setting for both sides :tup:


Grace, he is indeed special :love: even when he's irritating!

Oh! Yes it is! I still have them, the first one I broke was a step up on my engagement ring. It was a little over a carat RB I don't wear it anymore, to afraid it will split. The other was a Mothers day gift I still wear it. The shear is smack in the middle but it does its best to shine :)

Oh.my.god. Chag you are so lucky - what a great hubby! I lean more toward the round cut - at least thats what I envision my Ering to be one day. Regardless, no matter what setting you are going to end up with one gorgeous ring!
