Hi all, I need advice on a diamond I am considering for an engagement ring. Here is the diamond: It is a hearts and arrows AGS cut. My biggest concern is the I color that will be set on platinum. Any advice from the experts here about whether the I color should be a concern would be greatly appreciated. I ran this diamond on the Holloway Cut Advisor and it received a 1.4 excelltent rating. Thanks in advance, |

Hi Diamondnewbie, You can go try to find I-color diamond in platinum settings and check whether you see a hint of yellow. Another thing for you to consider: ideal-cut diamonds are so brilliant an sparkly that even I color ideal-cut might look as white as D ordinary cut stone. |

Most of my customers have never had a problem with I color in platinum. In my opinion I would not go as low as J. The truth is many people can not see the difference between a H or I color when the diamond is un-mounted, let alone being mounted. Good luck! ------------------ |

I disagree with steve, (mildly). I have found +80% of people can pick I with no training in good light. 50% can pick color in H, and very few in G and better. Have you looked? Secondly an I in platinum will look like a J in a bezel setting in 18ct. garry h |
