Lol yup! And honestly this somehow feels even dumber than that.
Apparently once I have a stone on hold, I CANT order it myself. I have to use their stupid chat, get an email, confirm the email, and THEN USE CHAT AGAIN for a new email to pay.
So it's harder to buy a stone you have on hold than a normal stone!?!?! WHY!?

Welllllll I got the stones today. Not fluorescent enough for me, sadly. The M colored one just looks a little whiter in the sun. The D is much closer to what I want, but i think the fluor isn't strong enough for me. I see it, but it isn't super strong, milky, etc.
Both are going back. I'm super paranoid about taking stones out of the protective box once I decide to return because I have this fear they'll get damaged. I'll try to take pics tomorrow before I return, but no promises haha

How are you seeing if stones are milky or not? That might help a lot

OMG, I’m obsessed!
Lovedogs, are you sure this isn’t “the one”? It is both a unique cut, nice size, and really unique flourescent “color”. The only high flourescent diamond I saw in person once was a deep blueish violet. This one glows pinkish faint violet, so incredibly unique. (I’m curious about what flourescent color you are looking for, just for my own edifcation.)

I'd like a v strong blue, bc those seem to come with a cool milky quality. But no, I just don't have the fund for this one

A smidge over budget. I like that 1.17...how yellow is that K?, although it is probaby not a PS sanctioned cut. It has that look that brings me in...extreme clarity look. I can't explain it. 3.9 HCA
Leave it to me to like funky/not so pretty stones.

I like the radiant! Stupid gia cert won't show for me on the pear but it's definitely another possibility. Just need to get my JA refund first

Best chance of a strong overblue is vsb+si2 clarity based on clouds not shown and also gaining not shown comments.
To get a strong overblue you need high reactance+a lot going on in the stone.
It will also likely be a bit milky even without UV.
The thing is the most of those get filtered out before entering the US market.

Yeah, that's what I've started to realize. So hard to find. If I found a stone I like on idex, csn any vendor theoretically help me find/purchase it?
