I was just browing on Ruby Lane when I happened upon this 10.4 carat whopper! Even though it’s very included, its size is really impressive.

Oh hell that is one big ring! Very pretty.
ETA: Am I the only one who doesn’t mind inclusions? If I had a diamond I think I would actually want some type of visible inclusion, it sort of makes it that much more unique and visibly “yours”, if that makes any sense.

I love that pear shaped diamond listed below! It seems like that massive diamond has a bunch of inclusions which turn me off to it. Plus if you truly got that ring, I wonder how many people would believe it’s real b/c it kind of looks constume-y.

@Gingersnap: I don’t mind inclusions but this ring kind of looks dirty from the inclusions. Idk?

Love it! I really don’t mind inclusions either, but I tend to subscribe to the whole “finding beauty and character in the flaws” theory.

@Gingersnap: I have visible inclusions in my ring. I have one or two (I can’t tell if it’s a different inclusion or just showing from a different side). When I look at it under a loop it just looks like little crystals. But from naked eye it’s just a dot. I like it, and it lets me know… “Hey this is my diamond” so I can tell when I bring it into the jeweler.
That diamond is so big that it looks really scratched from the inclusions. It’s impressive though, and still a lot of money. Dang! 🙂

I can’t imagine wearing a ring that large, that just looks cumbersome!

Wow! That’s huge! My biggest problem is they want you to pay shipping after you’ve spent $121,000!!!

Yeah, it’s pretty funny you have to pay for shipping.
That would look AWESOME on my hand 🙂 My mom has a blue topaz that size that she got years and years ago. Every time she has it worked on or cleaned jewelers make her an offer to buy it.
My engagement ring is vintage and filled with inclusions. I love it. I know it’s my stone. It’s larger, somewhere around 2 carats maybe, not sure. Larger than his grandfather should have been able to afford for his grandma – which I’m sure is why it isn’t ‘perfect’.
Perfect to me 🙂

My jeweler said that inclusions and rough cut stones are becoming the “in” thing. My ring is made of a stone my fiance and I found together. Why not have character, right?

I have a diamond necklace Fiance gave me a few years, and the diamond has a very obvious inclusion. I was showing it to a friend, and she said she wished her engagement center stone had been more interesting and had something like that. People do like them.
