An M for me - Part 2

[MAC-W]

I posted a few weeks ago about an M coloured diamond I bought https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/an-m-for-me.149523/



.... Well it arrived on Thursday and today has been the first chance I've had to take photos.

so without further ado (for all you picture junkies out there ) .......

In a spare setting that has E-F stones

I really like this look, if not necessarily this particular setting.

That stone is as pretty as I thought it would be.

I'm really loving all the different looks this stone has. I also find it a much more interesting colour than my F'sand D's which are just always icy white, sometimes this new stone has a white look and sometimes really creamy, sometimes a bit of both. The pictures I posted really dont do the colour justice but were the best I could manage.

It's such a pretty stone and I'm loving the longer lower facets and the extra sparkle they cause. Modified H&A's for me from now on

I'm extremely colour sensitive and always thought 'yellow tint' was bad (Its amazing how we - I mean me - buy into marketing hype - thanks PS for opening new possibilites to me). The jewellers couldn't believe I could pick G from F from E in a blind test until they saw me do it 5 consectutive times with just a single stone shown each time. Because of my colour sensitivity, I've always been wary of saying to people about G-J diamonds but having got my M, I can definitely understand how people can think an H or I for example is white. Never understood it before.

My colour sensitivity is now de-sensitised LOL


I'm thinking a Y-Z diamond would be interesting to have next

Very pretty...I like it in your spare setting! I'm really starting to love lower colors!

 

[MAC-W]

Thanks Andelain & tyty.

You're right, the lower colours are fabulous.

Now I just have to figure out the setting. I know I want really high coloured stones with it cos of that spare setting I tried it in (cant use that one tyty, it doesnt fit properly - the stones a little bit too big), but I cant decide if I should go for an antique-y setting or a contemporary setting.

Any thoughts?

Looks lovely

I think the lower colors have so much personality. I have Ns and love them.

It's gorgeous and I know exactly what you mean about color sensitivity. I like the stone in your spare setting...what are you planning to do with the stone?

 

[yssie]

Haha congrats

"white" relative to a D/E is pretty different from white with no available standard of comparison your M looks a real beauty!

Thanks for the pictures MACW! You can see how this stone looks different in different lights and from different angles - it's really interesting. Enjoy it!!
