Does anyone have any goods pics/sites....?
 
Keep in mind that pics are not helpful when evaluating the color of diamonds.
I've seen many photographs of Ds that look yellow in the pic.
Go look in our "Show me the ring" forum; colors are all over the place.
It would be easy to find two pics in which a D E or F looks more yellow than a J K or L.

In photography the lighting, camera white-balance settings, the color of the diamond's surroundings, your computer monitor settings and even the color of the photographer's shirt can change how the color appears in pics.

If you are deciding what color grades you are comfortable with you need to compare loose diamonds of various color grades, side by side, in person.
Also compare stones of the weight, cut style and cut quality that you are considering since these can influence the appearance of the color too.
 
As always... Gary thank you

Ditto Moh. Also I have a substantial L colour which is plenty white enough for me, but it might not be for other people, so it is best if you can see the colour grades in person ( GIA or AGS), similar size, cut quality, shape etc.
 
They are beautiful, but need to be accepted for what they are. They show warmth that can''t be covered up, but if you love it...then fabulous, since they are usually quite affordable! I definitely think they need to be seen in person and also outside of jewelry store lighting.
 
Well here''s my delimea... I live in Okinawa... and I''m not sure about the apprasing process over here. I''m saving right now and should be ready to buy what i want in Jun 09... Has anyone heard of appraising here??? I know Martin said he would ship to an independent appraiser just not sure if there are any here...
