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.
