Diamond lovers, enthusiasts, and pros: blue nuance?

[DejaWiz]

Simple question: blue nuance (any degree of it), yes or no?

I see environmental blue face on, but side view, no.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

i see it in both pictures and i like it

 

[Jax172]

I don’t really see it in the side view. The front view won’t load for me.

Whats the CA and pavilion angle because the lowers look shallow?
It could also be the angle if its not shallow.

 

[Kim N]

I don't see any.

ok, so its the angle and size interaction of the blue obstruction rather than shallow lowers causing the lowers to show obstruction.

Environmental for sure.

That's exactly what I suspected...thank you, Karl_K!
This is a diamond that I suggested to someone and now the seller won't let him have it because they are insisting that their gemologist/cutter is saying that it has a blue hue/nuance and are refusing to procure it stating "their high quality standards" prevent them from doing so.
I've urged the buyer to show the seller this thread before the hold/reservation expires.

Thank you for the extra eyes, MMtwo, Daisys and Diamonds, Jax172, and Kim N!

Buy it from someone else then?

Buy it from someone else then?

Can't until the hold is released.

Yes to the photos. After seeing the video, no lol.

Geeky fact of the day, Environmental and dispersion blue are contained in virtual facets, blue nuance extends across virtual facets if all you have is face up images. Side and angled views are preferred to get a more solid opinion and spin videos you can control the angles are better yet.

 

[labellavita81]

I vote yes, I can see it when its face up.

What happened??? Were they able to buy it? Did they just buy something else?

Blue clothing needs to be banned from diamond photoshoots

Nope...seller is standing firm.
The buyer is working on securing an alternative:

There is no reliable method of assessing blue nuance based on rotating videos and the photos provided. Remember, blue is a very faint color by nature.
I wouldn’t ever feel comfortable guaranteeing such a stone did or didn’t have blue based solely on pics rotating vids.
YMMV
