Do "K" color diamonds w/Strong Blue Flor. still show color?

[LUNAJEWELS]

I was thinking of purchasing:

http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/1.208-k-si1-round-diamond-ags-bl-104062571016

w/ Fluorescence: Strong Blue

I was thinking of putting a small pink diamond halo around and it with rose gold milligrain and a larger white diamond halo. I love the Blue line but I'm concerned, will the K look very yellow or does the Blue fluorescence counter act that?

It wont mask it a whole lot and not in every lighting. Some lighting doesnt have UV and therefore the flour wont show. Usually i believe the flour helps it look aboit 1shade lighter.
With that said a well cut k,will,still be very bight, mix that with pink halo amd single cut whites i think you would be just fine

Looks like a killer stone, I would definitely call BGD and simply ask. I'm sure they will give you their honest opinion. But I personally think a K with Strong Blue will face up pretty white. Your diamond halo idea for the setting sounds gorgeous!

Re: Do "K" color diamonds w/Strong Blue Flor. still show col

The K color will not look very yellow. It will probably look more like a sandy beige. The color will be most noticable from the side, so if your setting covers that up, the color will not be that noticable from the top view.

Re: Do "K" color diamonds w/Strong Blue Flor. still show col

It will definitely not be a bright white, but it would probably help to have a rose gold halo next to it. Fluoro isn't going to make any difference except when the stone is in UV light. I will also warn you that a pink diamond halo will be very expensive, so price that out before you commit to a K diamond.

I love everything about this idea and think it'll look gorgeous!!! It's a stunning stone and you can always confirm with BGD how much color actually shows and then ask them how they think it'll look surrounded by rose gold and pink diamonds. Personally next to pink diamonds I think the stone will look whiter! But the fluorescence WILL help with the color especially strong blue! Keep us updated! Sounds like it'll be stunning!

Re: Do "K" color diamonds w/Strong Blue Flor. still show col

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I just emailed Denise @ BGD with all the info so hopefully I'll hear back soon

I ultimately asked her about this J - http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/1.116-j-si1-round-diamond-ags-bl-104062571015

I think the size difference is trivial so it will still look nice on my finger. *fingers crossed!*

 

[04diamond<3]

Re: Do "K" color diamonds w/Strong Blue Flor. still show col

That stone looks great too and I agree that there will hardly be a difference in size between those two and a J may be a better option if you're concerned about a K colored stone. Again, the fluorescence will help but both stones are gorgeous. Can't wait to see what happens!

That's an O/P colored stone so much lower, plus it's 4x bigger than the stone being considered so it definitely shows more color. But I love that ring and it's a good thing to compare to what Lunajewels is thinking (I think?).

yes that one will look lower and bigger but i think it shows that it can be done and look great

ALso- here is a direct picture of a couple of BGD Blues along side an H colored diamond in the halo setting which may or may not be helpful for you. The middle stone is I with medium Fluor and the stone on the end is a J with either SBF or VSBF, I can't recall which.

I wish I'd gotten a clearer shot! But I ran out of time there!

Agreed. I personally love the contrast between that colored stone, the pink halo and the white, but Lunajewels, yours won't look nearly that yellow!! Either way though, gorgeous!

I think so too. A J with SBF ought to be very nice!

Re: Do "K" color diamonds w/Strong Blue Flor. still show col

Bast, do you happen to know the size of those stones?

and thanks, I see diff beteween I & J .. maybe I'm color sensitive.

 

[pinkjewel]

Re: Do "K" color diamonds w/Strong Blue Flor. still show col

I have a J colored diamond with a natural pink diamond halo pendant. I am pretty color sensitive and definitely see yellow (as in warm cream). It's still a pretty combination- but does not look white. Unless you go with vivid pink diamonds you will need to set them in rose gold to show that they're pink. I'm not sure that it doesn't intensify the color in the diamond- even if using white gold or platinum around your diamond itself. I'm including a couple of pics of my pendant for color reference. Mine has no flourescence.

Re: Do "K" color diamonds w/Strong Blue Flor. still show col

Oh that is so gorgeous!!

I'm actually loving the color combo with the J and the pinks it's very "rich" looking

I think the J with a rose gold halo is stunning!
Luna- for the stone sizes the one in the halo was .79, the middle one .93 and the big one was about 1.09 or 1.1, can't remember, but it's pretty close to the size of the one you are looking at.

thanks!! I love the color combo,too- but I was not looking for a "white" diamond. I just wanted you to see that it would probably show some color. I agree that I really love the off white tones with pink diamond halos!

Does your stone have FL? or SBF?

Here are some pink halos, one diamond and one sapphires (i think)

Re: Do "K" color diamonds w/Strong Blue Flor. still show col

color is a very personal thingy. to me, anything less than a G shows color instantly to my eye.


I would say a K color would show a yellow tinge even if you aren't a color sensitive person. Fluorescence doesn't impact the color to such an extent it makes it colorless.

Re: Do "K" color diamonds w/Strong Blue Flor. still show col

The stone below should hopefully be with me tomorrow. I'll take some pics for you as I had similar concerns when deciding between this stone or a different 1.15ct I-colored BG Blue. Ultimately, after all the PS lurking, it seems the only way to see if I'm OK with the K color (and the VSBF) is to see it in person. With these specs and the price I had to take a shot.

http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/1.246-k-vs1-round-diamond-ags-bl-104062571025

Hopefully I'll be satisfied with it. I've already spoken to Mark Morrell about setting it in a Petite Torchiere with no side diamonds!

 

[bmurph]

Re: Do "K" color diamonds w/Strong Blue Flor. still show col

I took some pics of my stone next to a CZ for comparison. The color difference is quite clear in the pictures, however, much less noticeable (at least to me) in real life. It also faces up very white. I need to check it out in a few different lighting conditions but I'm pleased with it so far and think I'll keep it.

That being said, if I had seen only these comparison pics prior to buying, I doubt I would have purchased this K color. I'm very happy I chose to see it in person, it was worth it!

Re: Do "K" color diamonds w/Strong Blue Flor. still show col

I have a 2 carat L/SI1 BGD Blue with medium blue fluoro and it is shockingly white. Several PSers saw it in person and couldn't believe how white it faced up. A pear isn't a great comparison because it will show a lot more color (especially in the point) than a super ideal round. I don't have any photos I took just for comparison's sake, but if you look here you'll see a few pics of my stone in different lighting:
