Infinity Princess Cut 1.20 K VVS2 Med Blue Fluor!!

[London_Diamond]

I posted recently about my experience with an Infinity Princess cut 1.07 H I1.

It was a stunning stone but unfortunately the inclusion was visible at certain angles. What theexperience did do was confirm that the Infinty cut was the one for me.

With this in mind I currently have this stone on hold and hope to view it shortly.

I would never normally have considered a K but having seen the shot of Lieve''s (Paul Slegers of Infinty''s business partner) ring which is an L VVS2, I''m not sure the normal colour rules apply.

I would appreciate any feedback for owners of lower coloured stones. Am I likely to see a faint yellow tint? What is the best setting to maximize face up colour and minimise body colour? Any opinions on this stone would also be useful.

You can see a picture of Lieve’s ring in this thread to give an idea of how these Infinity princess cuts face up.

Be sure to look at it from the side. Princess cuts seem to show lots of tint from that view, compared to a RB.

It looks like a beautiful diamond and the medium fluorescence is an added bonus I think. You are in a great position as you can view it in person, also Infinity can look whiter for the given colour grade due to the cutting so I would definitely want to see this one! I am a fan of and own some lower colour diamonds so I think they can be a super choice if you don't want that icy white look, more of an antique white is how some lower colours look to me. You can sometimes see a little warmth from the side in these colour grades but my advice is to go with an open mind and see what you think when you see it. If you are meeting with Indira, she will let you view the diamond in various lighting situations so you can really get a good idea if this is the right diamond for you.

I''m a fan of embracing body color. My stone is M colored and yes, you will see color from the side, but not so much from the top. If you''re wanting to hide the body color on the sides then I would say to get a setting with fancy prongs on the side link which will distract the eye from the body color of the stone. As far as face up, it will be beautiful!

Thanks Lorelei,

I will be meeting with Indira to look at the stone, I just hope the difference between the K and the H I viewed previously is not too vast.

I will go with an open mind and a hope that this one looks as good as Lieve''s!

I love that setting! Is it a vatche X prong?

Is your M a princess too? How is it set?

I''d already set my mind on a platinum setting but have read that the white colour can accentuate the tint in a K, however she''s not a huge fan of YG which could be a problem.

I have a K h&a round. I can see the tint face up in certain lighting like cloudy, rainy days. It does bother me. Like someone else said, it''s about embracing the color.
When you see the stone, make sure to take it outside, away from any pretty lights to get a good idea of how it will look.

When you start to consider these colors, you need to appreciate the warmth, not try to make it look colorless.

Mine is a round which is now set in the Vatche royal crown. The head of my setting is platinum while the rest is yellow gold. Here''s a photo that Wink from Winfields took (I bought the diamond from GOG and the setting/band from Wink - Both are amazing to work with!

). I''ve been waiting for a sunny day to do photos but alas it has not happened yet

.

Link to a K colored diamond set in either white gold or plat. (not sure which one)

Beautiful stone and setting. I would never have guessed that stone as as an M, it looks so white.

The link is interesting too and shows a stone with medium blue fluor which the owner claims makes her stone whiter than her previous K.

Thanks elle_chris.

I appreciate the need to embrace the higher colour and I hope this stone works for me. Having seen the photos of Lieve''s ring and the comments from professionals placing the colour in the F/G range I am hoping that this diamond could perform equally well.

I would ideally have liked to drop the clarity to VS2 or even SI1 and upped the colour to H/I but trying to find this infinity princess combo is proving very difficult.

I''m really hoping the medium blue fluor and the AGS0 cut will eliminate or severely reduce the tint you referred to.

The fluor will help the face-up but not the side tint. I looked at an I color Hearts On Fire princess, about 6 mm diameter, and honestly, the first thing I noticed about it as the man handed it to me in the tweezers, was the obvious body tint from the side. And that was I color. As you go down the color scale, the grades span a wider range of tint. So, J and K are much wider ranges of tints from the min to the max of each. The photos in the K thread are mostly face-up, and you really can''t tell much from the pics, anyway. But take a look at the side view of the K color RB in the Lockes setting.

Blue Fluorescence will ''whiten'' a stone from all angles. However, given that diamond is cut to show face up light more, the effect of fluorescence will be greater in the face up position. It does still exist at any orientation, just to a lesser degree.

Actually, just another nitpick:

I thought the "range" of shades in a given colour-declaration (D, E, G,...) became more inclusive as letter grade went up, too, ''til I read that "I" is actually quite a narrow range.
