Got my orange colored diamond

[T L]

Here it is next to my green gray - which looks very dark in this photo. Stupid camera keeps casting a shadow on my stones so it's hard to capture sparkle. It's a 80 point cleftless heart.

Here it is next to some of my other fancies, so you can see the color difference. The stone to the left is a typical C1, C2 champagne color. The Orange has yellow sparkles.

Gorgeous!!!!!!!! Are you going to set it at all, or just ad it to your collection???

 

[mochi]

I never realized that diamonds came in such beautiful colors! It''s really neat looking at them all together.

Next to my 1/2 carat rbc brownpink diamond ring.

Ditto! You''ve got quite the collection there!

With yellow gold bands. Pardon the dust on the stone corner.

It doesn''t fit, but I thought I''d like to see what it would look like in white gold surounded by white diamonds.

 

[mochi]

Hmmmm... I kindda like the yellow gold, brings the richness of that diamond.....

 

[neatfreak]

I love it with that dark rich yellow gold!

Nah, I think stepcutnut holds that title. I''ll be the colored diamond court jester.

 

[Kelli]

I sure am jealous of your collection! What a great color!

 

[marcy]

What a beautiful and great collection you have.

One more pic of my orange amongst my green, salmon and yellows. I like this picture because I think it shows off the orange's truer color since my camera stinks. The green looks almost black in here, but it's a vibrant, and firey stone. I wish you all could see it in person.

 

[stepcutnut]

Love love love it!!! The color is fantastic I definitely vote 2 tone, YG prongs with a WG halo and white diamond melee-yum!

 

[PrincessDijon]

Very nice! I say the YG brings out the color!!!

 

[T L]

You mean like this ring?

Tourmaline_lover you must be the luckiest lady on this forum! That orange color is so sweet. Like a madeira citrine but in DIAMOND.

Your collection is really great.

I too love it with the yellow gold

 

[kimikocat]

If you are going to set that gorgeous orange diamond -- by all means, please set it in high karat yellow gold. It made my heart stop.

LOL! well, how about a "princess"? I don''t know if court jesters had diamonds...or even colored diamonds if that!!

I just wanted to post a couple more pics - sorry. I just don''t think the dim light in my house captured the true color. I don''t have lots of bright light in my home, so I got my husband''s small led light out and took some brighter pics. Thanks for looking.

 

[T L]

Here's one more with the led right on it - it goes really yellow here - lots of sparkles which my camera can't capture well. It seems it can only capture dust particles
