Hi all,

    This month's edition of "The Loupe" (a GIA periodical) has a big
    article (although not incredibly informative) on new methods of
    evaluating cut, and there is a 3-photo montage of the same diamond
    under different types of lighting. Diffused light produced the best
    looking image. 

    A local manufacturer of low end gold jewelry published a flyer of
    its offerings, and I couldn't figure out why the jewelry looked so
    weird. I finally noticed that they had used the EXACT SAME diamond
    for every stone on the page. Same photo. It gave me the willies. This
    is what technology brings me???
