Go back to that scene of the diamond & CZ being shown together. When you look at the two stones you can see that the diamond is brighter than the CZ. The CZ has kind of a darker, grayish cast to it. 😃

[@taticatnineland]

Some czs are hard to tell apart, the cheap ones are easy. Most czs glow under black light, though. The best Russian czs don’t even glow, though; professionals have to look at them to be certain. Diamonds almost disappear in a glass of water, but most czs can be seen clearly. So...it isn’t as easy as it sounds here.

He could've done the right thing and given it back to her and not fed into the favoritism bs, so I don't think she should feel guilty for not talking to him.

[@SoldierPrince]

Yes, it was a comment that can sit close to home with many, but sometimes there are strong convictions that can hold one to their stance, which created this situation for her (1 in a million mind you, but such is life). Out of experience, if anyone is holding on, and it's with a Loved one (most importantly, usually the case 'cause of the level of connection)... then one way you may want to tackle it is... break the long, strong communication barrier of stubbornness or legit conviction by simply stating that you love them, in however form it may be. Then go right back to your stance. You are in that position because you're a good person, and want that better day with them one day... that's why you're emotionally invested, otherwise you wouldn't care. It's one way to give you a bit of insurance (or assurance) from the mysterious ways of the world abruptly causing a situation on top of the situation. “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” Mahatma Gandhi

It's very simple but easy to expand on visual It's very classy very simple but also kind of retro a lot of early content has kind of a vignette to it because of light drop off and just the cameras A lot of white angle webcams have kind of vignetting I also like how it kind of has a silent movie vibe Which actually has more to do with the projector But I quite like it
