I have been looking at a stone in an antique setting that I found at an antique store. The seller called it a yellow diamond, but it clearly is not yellow. As I look at the stone it looks more orange than brown; would this be champange? Is it possible that it is an orange stone that the dealer hasn''t recognized as particularly rare and valuable? How would I tell? Also, how do prices of champange stones compare to white? The one I am looking at is a 0.92ct and under a loupe I could not find any inclusions (but I am inexperienced and granted that is looking at it in a setting, but I would be confident in saying that it is at least an SI1). The stone is not graded and I couldn''t not comment on it''s cut because colored stones sparkle differently than white, but they are only asking $1400. I''ve never seen a stone of that size priced that low. Anyone have any suggestions? Should I buy this as investment?
