They were all sparkly. Some had visible "scuffs" under the loupe but not with the naked eye and I doubt my fiance nor her friends/family that she was potentially going to show the ring to would inspect the rock with a loupe...

If you know the specs of the 4Cs you're after, and you've had no prior experience with diamond like me, then you should be looking online to avoid going crazy. I also generally don't like the upsell talk most salespeople try on.

You say the 4C's matter, but then when you looked at rings you couldn't tell the difference and they "all looked sparkly"
