Dis Rough Rock Total Posts: 12 Last Post: 11/12/2005 Member Since: 10/27/2005	I believe 'warm' refers to stone with a slight yellowish or golden tint.

Tacori E-ring Ideal Rock Total Posts: 16,101 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 8/15/2005	I would consider "I" and lower to be warmer diamonds. I have an "I" and in certain lights at certain angles you can see a light yellow tint.

researcher Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,440 Last Post: 5/26/2008 Member Since: 4/27/2004	If you check out Diamonds by Lauren, you will see a chart that shows the various colors. Some would say that stones begin to get warmth at G because it's the D-F stones that tend to be the icy white. But, there are many different definitions, and it seems to depend on the particular stone. With my "I" I would say that it's a warmer white, but not yellow by any means. If you think of paint colors it should help you to understand. You can have white white walls (with an almost blue undertone) are walls that are slightly warmer (those with yellow or red undertones). Are they both white? Yes. But there is definitely a difference in the tones of the whites--as well as the shades of white. Hope that helps!

Matatora Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,230 Last Post: 7/26/2006 Member Since: 3/6/2005	People have differing degrees of color perception or sensitivity. My sister can literally tell the diffrence between a D and an E. She can also see diffrences in other things as well. Of course her vision is like 20/10 she can see all sorts of neat things, like her targets that I miss. But a diffrence in color does not have to mean yellowish. Hit a paint store and see how many shades of white there are even with just base tint. -Matatora Courage is the price that life extracts for granting peace Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.

lumpkin Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,491 Last Post: 2/29/2008 Member Since: 5/24/2005	Here is a collage of it in a yellow setting and then it's current setting. As you can see, how much color it shows depends so much on the setting and the lighting. Sometimes it looks pretty white, other times it looks like clear crisp ginger ale (definitely not dog pee, thank goodness!). * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Opinions are like belly buttons.

lumpkin Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,491 Last Post: 2/29/2008 Member Since: 5/24/2005	Here's the last. Lorelei, I love the diamond. I just can't find a setting that makes it pop. My husband mentioned to me that it's either the shape of the diamond or perhaps the color, rather than the settings. It's a difficult stone as far as getting the perfect setting, and let's face it, I got it for quite a good price with it's color. Now my extremely well priced diamond is becoming a money pit, LOL! I am receiving an F I1 stone to look at today. I will post some pictures when I receive it. It will either confirm my husband's theory, or I will decide to be extremely happy with this diamond and keep it in it's current setting and just quit looking for "the one." I do love the diamond, I just have a nagging feeling that I should have gotten a better cut an color. I was seduced by the size, the IF clarity, and the no bowtie. And it's not a bad bargain, but maybe I should go down in size for something brighter that will pop. I don't know, but I soon will, and either way I can find some peace of mind. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Opinions are like belly buttons.

Lorelei Ideal Rock Total Posts: 34,228 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/30/2005	Mine is set in a thin 2mm yellow gold band with a WG 5 prong head and that pops! Maybe the thinner band might be an option and show the stone off more. It is a beautiful diamond and I love the colour, but will be interested to see the F i1 too!

old-fashioned girl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,621 Last Post: 10/31/2008 Member Since: 8/1/2005	I don't know if this will help much, but here are my two engagement rings. The solitaire is a 1.09ct RB H SI1 I believe. (Going from memory here.) The "antique" smaller one is about 0.94ct brownish stone. I think the appraiser said it's SI1, color grade C3 - C4 on the Argyle, light brown body color, "champagne diamond" scale which equates to an "L" on the "Austron" colorimeter - i.e. it would be like an L on the colorless scale we're all used to. My pictures aren't the best, but hopefully it gives you some idea. I figured just seeing two diamonds of different colors next to each other might be helpful. In my case, the color of the diamond in the "antique" ring is considered a detriment, but it is still very sparkly, and the warmer color looks good with yellow gold. I am going to reset my 1.09 H diamond into a white setting.
