So just like everyone else who's asked this question, I am displeased with the diamond industry and it's takeover of the institution of marriage. I don't buy into the marketing hype they've been pushing for a century, but since so many people do, I'm finding it rather difficult to find someone who actually knows something about the alternatives. I've read about how white sapphires are similar in appearance and strength to diamonds, but my main concern is that they appear cloudy and don't "sparkle". Perhaps it's bad photography, but that's my problem. They're so hard to come by, I have no idea where to start looking for one in person to see the difference myself, and I am certainly NOT ordering one online. I've seen the technical analysis of the differences, but that means nothing. Does anyone with experience with them know if they are all cloudy like that or if they can actually look like great stones?
