The poster said that her ring was an M color. This is the only time that I have recalled seeing an M on this forum. I think that if you put an M next to a G you will see a SIGNIFICANT difference. Same thing with a J and an M. I've seen some really nice J's in platinum though. Remember, CUT IS KING!

MC Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,868 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 2/8/2003	Which shape is the M stone you're considering? If the stone is a superiour cut RB it will look better than a lame cut stone. I've seen an emerald cut M color and it was visably tinted. No doubt from looking at it that it was MUCH more "warm" than my G color RB. I've also looked at a K color pear and it was visably yellow as well. So basically, even if you have a fabulously cut stone, at the M range, it will be warmer than many stones, but still it may look beautiful.

fortheloveofdiamonds Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,279 Last Post: 7/4/2006 Member Since: 10/8/2004	Just curious. Why would you consider getting such a low color stone with such a high clarity? If it is a price issue, you'd be better served, IMO, to go with an eye-clean SI1 in a J or even I color....

diamond island Rough Rock Total Posts: 78 Last Post: 7/28/2005 Member Since: 6/17/2004	No not a $$ issue. This is just what is available at this time. The clarity is just a bonus, I would prefer a VS1 or VS2 and a J combo.

"M" is whiter than white wine... There's been a long saga of a 3 carat M/VVS diamond around here - worth reading. This is what it was about: (the diamond was recut into super ideal for "Stephan" - see one of the related posts link) Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen."

Personally, I'd either opt for a smaller stone or wait for a J to come up. The diamond you choose is going to be worn for years, possibly a lifetime (if no upgrades are planned), so an additional six months waiting period seems rational unless you must propose now. If this is the case, then I'd look for another branded diamond rather than go for an 8* if this means having a more tinted stone. Have you checked Whiteflashes ACA stones to see what they have in your size/color range?

Is it really hard to "pull off" a diamond say M to U/V color grade ?. Just curious why these grades are so derided really. All other considerations aside, the shade looks great to me - close to what rough natural silk looks like, and I am dead after that one ) Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen."
