Diamond or Paraiba?

[kenny]

In this link it is called a blue diamond ring from Tiffany.

If it is a real natural diamond what would you guess the weight to be?

Judging by the cut I doubt it's a Paraiba. Whatever it is, I'll have two please! Or maybe three ......

it looks like a pretty Cambodian Zircon to me

Nice ring. Do you have any other info on it kenny?

I'm always terrible at these, but I'll guess it's fancy intense greenish blue, 1.25ct

All I know about it is the link I posted but I'm going to snoop around.
I'd love to see the grading report.
I'd agree with the FIgB.

I was just coming to post this same link.

I wonder what the price is, but I guess if you have to ask...

Unlikely to be Paraiba to me too. Is the colouration natural, you think?

WOW - have never seen a diamond of that color. Amazing!

The reason I think that color is real and natural is my experience with my little pear, which is also GIA Fancy Greenish Blue.
It also has astonishingly strong neon color, though the pics below show it is more green, and mine is only Fancy Intense not Fancy Vivid like the oval.
I much prefer the oval's color but both diamonds looked like someone used Photoshop to push up the color.
In person mine practically seems fake because it just doesn't seem that diamonds could come out of the ground that color, though of course clever cutting helps.

At 2.5 carats and with the Tiffany premium I'll bet that oval was over half a million bucks, maybe much more.
That oval is one in a zillion and belongs in a friggin museum.

That color is incredible!!! Honestly I would like to see even a Zircon with a cut and color like that!

I have heard that Tiffany and HW amps up the colouration of their stones online. Don't know how true that is but I would suspect a bit of colour touch up as well. Still, it's a gorgeous and sizable greenish blue FCD.

Sure would like to see that in person. I'll bet it's a stunner, would hypnotize you under jewelry-store pin lights! Yours isn't chopped liver either, Kenny.
