<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 1713174, member: 36"]Dark spots. Dark spots in a diamond bring the value down. Personally I wouldn't care in an old ring, but insurance guys do. It does help to clean the stone before looking, so you don't mistake schmutz for off colors. If a stone can't be called by a color and it's not white, that hurts it. Other inclusions. A mark that says CZ...(LOL) A 10x loupe is the standard for looking at stones, so imperfections that don't show up under that don't count.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
