Hello! My diamond arrived today! #1 it's huge, #2 sparkles like heck! My current diamond is a 1.1, I, with a pretty good spread (6.84 ,6.91x3.8. GIA, guessing "good" cut (old GIA doesnt state cut grade). The new diamond is a 3 excellent GIA, 2.28, J, SI1 (eye clean from top and sides). Some inclusions showed up in one photograph, from upside down. Excellent light refraction according to IS (not a lot leakage) and .8 on HCA. Very nice
The little added warmth from 45 deg.is throwing me off. I think part of the problem is my diamond is cut so poorly that it appears darker which may mask any yellowness in my current (?). Or else it's just that a J has a little more warmth. Both I guess! My I diamond has always seemed white to me, and always liked my "I" color. No obvious warmth but now I am wondering if that is more due to the shallow cut making the diamond appear darker / grayer
Pics. Every lighting and every angle both diamonds look different. Sometimes the J looks whiter than my "I"(think bright bc cut is excellent), sometimes it looks warmer.
Thank you for any input! 30 day return policy so I just need to think it over a little bit. This is an incredibly huge decision and there will be no upgrade from here.
First set pics outside, noon bright sun
