Katie Diamonds are supposed to sparkle in rainbow colors: "If you look closely at a faceted diamond, you can see that it soaks up white light and breaks it apart like a prism, dispersing it into a rainbow of colors. Diamonds sparkle and dance with colored light; each of its dozens of facets produces its own dazzling display. Other natural gemstones disperse white light to some degree, but none comes close to diamond's ability to reveal the rainbow." pbs.org/wgbh/nova/diamond/sparkle.html 5/30/2011
Greta B. Very helpful! Also, don't buy a diamond without a GIA grading certificate. That way you will know everything you need to about the stone you are buying, including all the 4 C's. GIA created the 4 C's in the first place and are known for having the most accurate diamond grading reports industry-wide. In my opinion, that's the best way to know that a diamond is not only real, but is exactly the stone the store claims you are buying. 2/27/2011

Marilyn Real diamonds do sparkle in a rainbow of colors. Go to an article from pbs's Nova and see for yourself. This won't let me post a link but go the pbs dot org site and put in "the diamond deception science of the sparkle". 1/13/2011
