YELLOW DIAMOND UPDATE

P: 7/17/2005 5:57:52 PM
RADIANTTIFF Rough Rock Total Posts: 86 Last Post: 8/1/2005 Member Since: 8/12/2003	Hey Everyone! I wanted to give yall an update on the yellow diamond! I am finally seeing progress here! I am getting it back from GIA this week- but I have the results from them: The diamond is 5.97 carats Radiant Modified Brilliant VVS1 clarity- (a pinpoint) depth: 71.3 table: 68 Medium-Sl-Thick Girdle Polish VG Symm: VG Flour- Med Blue Color: Natural Fancy Brownish- Yellow Even Color Distribution I have bought those 4 long baguettes and am going with that design- THANK YOU VALERIA!! and the mounting should be completed early next week- but Im setting the stone up 10 mm high, and the first step of baguettes will be 8mm high, then the next are 6mm high- I like my rings to sit high on my finger- then the shank is 3mm wide in platinum with an 18kt gold basket. I will be sure to post a picture when its finished!! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP

But I was wondering: Were you at all disappointed that the report came back with "only" fancy brownish yellow, and not intense? It sure looks intense to me from the pictures!! widget

RADIANTTIFF Rough Rock Total Posts: 86 Last Post: 8/1/2005 Member Since: 8/12/2003	No way!! - I would have bought the stone without a cert, because I LOVED it. But Had to make sure it was natural color- I thought it would be fancy intense brownish yellow- But I really dont care!! The price I'm paying for it was WAY off for what a Fancy intense yellow should be- I mean like 60,000 plus off- the brownish made it more affordable and personally I LOVE the color- I think it is the most fabulous stone I have ever seen!!!! plus thats totally what its all about- its like buying a peice of art- you know when a painting speaks to you and you just have to have it. The best way to describe the color is Golden- I am surprised though it didnt come back fancy intense brownish-yellow? I wonder if it had no flourescense if it would have come back that - its a qustion to ponder- I read somewhere that GIA is harder on colored diamonds that have flourescense

I hope you don't think I was suggesting there was something wrong with that stunner because it didn't come back "intense"!! My God...it's absolutely breathtaking regardless of what any report says!!!! I guess I asked because I would have bet money that it was intense, judging from the pics. I should have asked: "were you surprised" rather than "were you disappointed".. Interesting about the GIA being tougher on fancies with flour....I'd never heard that...

RADIANTTIFF Rough Rock Total Posts: 86 Last Post: 8/1/2005 Member Since: 8/12/2003	Widget- Oh, no, I did'nt think that- I was kinda surprised too- but I was glad because if it came back Fancy Intense yellow, without the brown modifier it would have been insanely expensive and I couldn't have gotten it. I was at my dealer's office and he is from Isreal and of course is a diamond dealer and sees tons of diamonds- he said it was "intense" as well-but he knew it had the bit of brown in it- I knew it wasn't fancy intense yellow because he has a 5 carat cushion thats a VS1 that was like 96,000 dollars MY COST and mine was not only bigger, but a VVS1 stone and it wasn't near that price. -I have been infatuated with colored diamonds since I saw my stone- I never would have thought 2 months ago I would even own a colored diamond! Its kinda funny because I have been reading a TON about them, and some articles and some people think the "brownish" modifier is a curse- It has a tiny tiny hint of brown but its clearly yellow. I read that GIA is harder on the flourescent stones, I believe I read that in a thread on here-

Believe me, this is a FLATTERING picture, and in real life, the color is much more subtile. Hard to believe that there's only one notch difference in their colors, at least as far as the GIA is concerned!!!! widget

RADIANTTIFF Rough Rock Total Posts: 86 Last Post: 8/1/2005 Member Since: 8/12/2003	WOW ! That's an awesome ring! Very unusual- what does the report say about the flourescense in your stone- I look at other stones and compare them to each other and some they call fancy yellow look more like fancy intense to me- who knows........

Don't you think the difference is shocking? The more I think about it, the more I think they either grossly overrated the color of mine, or grosslly underrated the color of yours!! widget

It definitely makes the color look stronger and as long as the tinge remains 'golden' it is great. You had a ton a luck to find that superb stone. I can' wait to see the ring !

Your stones makes me think of a brandy (I think I dont drink so I could be off on this one). It is just the most wonderful rich color! And it is so even through the whole stone.

Standards are not getting up, it seems. It is possible that the darker tone led to the bias. David (of DBL) could answer this.

I really like it- do you have a thread with all your jewels? That's an oldie...vintage '20-'30. The only thing "new" about it is that a while ago I had the mq remounted in YG hoping to enhance the color... There's a thread in the "show me" forum entitled: "Some estate, mostly deco rings" that has most of my old stuff. A few other pieces are sort of randomly scattered around...less horrifying that way.. BTW...Thanks! widget
