Ring Specs

I wanted to be a gemologist at one point in my life; I love making jewelry, and always thought it would be cool to be a diamond grader too.
So, I am a nerd and love to try to guess the specs. However, I would NEVER ask anyone unless I knew them very well, and then it would be okay, because they would know that I am a jewelry nerd and not trying to ascertain value to make them feel awkward!
I think it is odd for someone you don't know well to ask. they could just go to a jewelry shop and find out for themselves.
 
I was. My friend would comment through her clenched teeth that big 0.5 ct :greengrin: diamonds are not as good as small one and better to get a smaller one with better characteristics, I was like WAUTA? She did not bother asking about my stones. Just run into the conclusions.
I was just smiling after that.
