THIS IS NOT AN I3 DIAMOND!
IT SAYS I3, BUT THE DIAMOND PICTURE LOOKS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL!

I 3???
I’m looking on the Kay Jeweler’s Website the other day, and I see a 3/4 Carat Round Diamond Solitaire for Sale $1,699 (They have now Lowered the Price down to $1,529.10).
The Picture is Beautiful
A Big, Bright Diamond that’s Clean and Brilliant in a Stunning White Gold Cathedral Mounting…
It LOOKS Amazing!
Until you see the Diamond Specifications, as shown here:
Now I3 Paints a more Telling Image of this Ring.
The Clarity is Quite LOW!
Really LOW!
The Lowest you can go.
In fact, it’s the Worst Diamond Clarity in the World!
NO LIE!
It’s the Very Last Clarity Listed on the Clarity Charts… (Which is just a Step above Industrial Diamonds used for Cutting, Drilling and Sanding…)
I3 Diamonds WILL be Riddled with Flaws, Inclusions, Clouds, Blemishes, Black Spots, Fractures, Chips and Cracks…
Like this I3 Diamond here…

Diamonds of this Quality usually have Little or NO Shine. No Brilliance. No Sparkle. They’ll look Dull, Foggy, Lifeless, like a Piece of Salt.
Plus, of course, the Inclusions will be so Obvious and Apparent, that you can see them with your Naked Eye (No Jeweler’s Loupe or a Microscope needed).
PLUS…
This many Inclusions WEAKEN the Stone Greatly!
Not Cool!
And Sadly, just by looking at this Beautiful Photo (and thinking that’s what you’re getting), you’d NEVER know it.
For this Photo shown on their Website is NOT the Real Diamond you’d Buy.
Oh No!
That Image is a Stock Photograph that they use for Many of their Rings, regardless of the Color or Clarity.
And… Just about all their Diamonds shown on the Site are Stock Photos.
Just look at this Photo Below showing a 2.00 Carat, 3.00 Carat, and 4.00 Carat Diamond all using the Exact Same Image…
So don’t think for a Second that your Diamond will look anything like the one Shown in the Photo!
IT WON’T!
But, there’s MORE…
This Diamond doesn’t even list the Real “Cut” Grade of the Diamond either. It just says “ROUND“, which is Hilarious!
ROUND IS NOT A CUT GRADE!
Cut Grades are:
- Excellent
- Very Good
- Good
- Fair
- Poor
“ROUND” is the Shape of the Stone!
So Be Careful when Shopping Online, because Images LIE, and INFO is Deceiving!
If you’re Buying a Solitaire Diamond, make sure you Buy it from a Diamond Dealer like James Allen, where they Show you the REAL Diamond you’re Buying, and all the Diamond INFO is Listed on the Site with a Copy of the Actual Diamond Certificate (Diamond Report).
It really does make a Huge, Huge Difference!
You get what you pay for!
AND, You Can SEE That!
Cheers! :)
