pretty...but yes, the carbon is very noticeable. I think it gives them character, but everyone is different. If you got them for a REALLY good price, then you did good and I would keep them. That's just me though.

Is the carbon dark spots??
and are inclusions...lines??

Teach me masters........

carbon are the dark spots but they are also inclusions. Inclusions are just imperfections in the diamond, they can be black, white, lines, spots, feathers or cracks

I am sad for you.

Wow! I'm on my iPhone and even on the tiny screen, the spots are really obvious!

They are 3mm.

I'm very upset. The seller's "tone" has done a 180 on me. She's bullsh*tting about how she is GIA Gemologist graduate, blah blah. She has 100% feedback, 100% satisfaction guarantee, free shipping(which I know she adds to the price.) I thought, even if they came to be H/I instead of G/H, and SI instaead of VS it would be fine. She's asking me what I want her to do. She did hold these for me while I waited to hear back from BTD about custom cutting which took 2 weeks...and I didn't even get an answer. I felt obligated to buy them at that point, even if I use them in a different way than planned. I also asked for a reduced price on 2 extras to price match another seller who was cheaper. To make up for that she sent 2 extra crappy ones. I can't use half of these, I don't think. Unless I set them in blackened gold. The sparkle is beautiful, but with the clarity they are it's probably the same sparkle as rose cut sapphires. UUUUUUUUUUUGH. I have another order coming from someone else. I hope they are what they say they are.

OMG the nerve of that seller. Is she going to let you return them?????????

I'm sorry Flash!!!!

The original picture of the first three, and she "matched" the others for me. bologney.

I would email her with your photo next to her photo, they don't look like they came from same lot.
