Blinding by the light.

Scintillation: The small areas of light in a polished diamond that flash
on and off as the diamond, observer or lighting moves.

Pattern: The arrangement of light and dark areas that result from internal and external reflections.

Contrast: The relief of light and dark areas that creates the face-up pattern of a diamond.

    I agree that men should be able to wear diamonds also. Riongerray- here's a link where you can see jewelry- online jewelry store. Let me know if you find something you like there. Thanks.

    Wow, I'd like to have a diamond like that for my husband! It's really hard to find mens rings with nice diamonds in them, but men like diamonds, too, right? He's a little glitsy, and we would match when we went to formal events and such. Where can I order a diamond like that?
