its like a leopard

[puppyguts]

i was trolling for diamonds and I came across this one on JA

http://www.jamesallen.com/#!/loose-diamonds/princess-cut/2.51-carat-f-color-i1-clarity-sku-207077

ive never seen anything like it, maybe because I usually only look at VS2 clarity or higher...

what the...I watched it spin for a while

 

[justginger]

I actually really like it in a 'whoa, that's different' way - like a little shiny Dalmatian!

 

[diamondloveaffair]

nice...

 

[misskittycat]

COOL. Seriously. I could watch it for ages...

 

[wildcatz]

Why would they even bother cutting that?

 

[arkieb1]

It's really really ugly and really really beautiful at once in a weird kinda way....

 

[puppyguts]

exactly the phases I went through
what?
why?
so spotty...
cant look away

This is a VS1 EGL Israel stone!

[Enerchi]

Good one, TC!! I like that --- wonder what other 'creatures' are lurking in diamonds??? That would be a neat thread to follow ---- puppyguts you should start a thread on that!!

 

[TC1987]

I've been watching too much Mad Men. Again.

 

[SB621]

Might be me but I hate the princess more then the spots.

 

[Laila619]

That should be an I3, not an I1!

[two_little_birds]

It's a Cruella De Vil stone!

Yuck. It reminds me of my first engagement ring, which was an overpriced diamond from a mall store. It looks so horrid in person.

 

[heididdl]

just one letter "Y"

 

[heididdl]

Is IGI a section of EGL International?????

 

[alisonia333]

I1 F??? How about "fancy black?"

 

[backwardsandinheels]

"What to give when you're just not that into her"

We call them dirty snowballs. It is weirdly mesmerizing...

 

[Trasid]

Oh my gosh you all gave me the best laugh! Thanks TC!! Your comment about Leopard Diamonds is going to have me giggling to myself at work tomorrow. I can't get over the price for that thing!

 

[AprilBaby]

I wouldn't wear it for $10 let alone $11,000!

 

[HopeDream]

If you were an astronomy buff it would be like capturing tiny meteorites, or part of the asteroid belt - like a tiny crystalize peice of the sky.

If you're not an astronomy buff, that's one gritty stone.

 

[VRBeauty]

It's kinda interesting! NOT $11K worth of interesting, but interesting nonetheless!

 

[puppyguts]

... & the price is crazy, I didn't even see that

LOL! don't they have an I5 clarity option? Never seen anything like it either. who would bother to cut a diamond with all those spots?

Saw an I2 4c AVR J color on GOG for $10k ...someone bought it. The megascope was still way high though.

That price is way too high for that stone though. Guess you could put it in a pendant.

I could understand if they were garnets or some other precious inclusions, but black? I guess it might be an interesting statement piece?

Yes, the price definitely is far too high. I entertained the idea of buying it (because I really DO like it), but the price caught me short. A quarter of that and it would be mine!
