Hi all, I’m looking to get myself a light yellow (U-Z) diamond, I’m most interested in a radiant cut. I’ve found three to pick from, I’m hoping I could get some advice on these stones. I don’t have any photos yet, but have some stills from the vendors video. I’m planning to set it into a yellow gold cup to enhance the colour.
I’m refraining from posting the GIA reports & links to avoid them being bought.
The first one is 0.76ct U-V SI1
6.13x4.58x2.98
Polish - G
Symmetry - G
Depth - 65.0%
Table - 70%
Girldle - medium-very thick
Strong blue flourescence

5.81x4.69x2.66

The third one looks like it might have the strongest facet patterning, with the first two more 'crushed ice' (for want of a better term) to my eyes.

Videos would be the best tool for assessment, I think, but I appreciate not wanting to post links.

Could you put the stones on hold then post the links here, so that we are able to view the videos?


Blue fluorescence in a yellow stone may need to be checked out in person, as it could potentially make the stone look green, I think?? Which may not be bad, as someone posted a cool 'kryptonite' stone with fluor recently that I loved, but I think you'd need to assess it or get pictures in strong direct sunlight to be sure.
