K color stones in Platinum/WG

[MissAva]

I do agree about the faint yellow issue, but I suppose faintly tinted or colored would make the color scale even more confusing for the average consumer.
When I look at JJ''s solitaire (J in color) it looks brownish to me in each picture, but not yellow. I don''t think that color can be judged over a computer though, and I think your sensitivity and skin tone make a difference in how you will feel.

Matatora, Who is JJ?

 

[Mara]

that lovely ring belongs to Jadie Jewel...

And I think the tint for me is because of the box it''s in...it''s picking up the surroundings IMO.

Pictures are very hard to tell color tint as we all know but it''s VERY HARD for me to see color in my diamond...and I would imagine a well-cut K wouldn''t be that much more ''yellow''.

Pure headache - guessing diamond color in pictures

JadeJewel''s ring should have been graded ''orange-brown'' if it did look anything like the picture on my monitor. It can''t be more than a mid game - looking for something because someone says it should be there. Perhaps every diamond should be photographed with a flash light with the photographer wearing a blue shirt...

Unless someone comes up with very high quality 3D images, I doubt things could get any better than this.


If the point was to see how colored K diamonds are, these diamonds should have been caught in pictures upside down or something. Once they become a beautiful piece of jewelry... different matter.

Jadie''s J stone is amazing IMO! Here''s another link on her stone, and these photos are far from yellow or brown. LINK Her setting photos, I do notice they are ''brownish'', but they also show amazing fire! Again, I think it''s the lighting.

This is Wallermama''s ring, here''s her details:
the center is a K .5ct and the sides are H/I .3ct, all good cut and vs2 clarity

UMM Miss Sunkist, is this thread missing a beautiful K bauble? I think so!!!

Although not entirely WG, I thought I should add my 1.22 K in two-tone gold, since the bezel is WG. I think my stone looks very white most of the time, and has a nice warm glow to it in some lighting. It was supposedly a high K according to Jon at GOG. I would definitely buy another, though I''d probably want to see it first to be sure it was as nice as the one I''ve already got...

 

[Mara]

here is my girlfriend''s 1.60 K VS2 ACA in a ritani setting... it''s blazingly white from the top down but from the side you can see a little warmth, but it''s stunning!!

 

[Mara]

here are two more of my faves...!! love it!

Mara dear, thanks for thinking of me! I can''t believe all of these beautiful additions! Gorgeous

But unfortunately I do not have my K stone set yet. It''s been out of my hands for a while and up to my BF to get it done... hmmm, he''s supposed to have it in this month, I wonder if it really is?? But don''t worry, but I''ve actually got a K bauble, I''ll share it for SURE!!!

 

[Mara]

sunkist, in the meantime why dont you add a few of your amazing bauble shots....we don''t just need to see a finished ring!!

Didn''t see this til now. The picture was taken in our kitchen on a wooden table.

Stone is not brownish.

 

[sunkist]

Bauble shots? I guess I was confused on the definition of a "bauble", I thought it was a completed ring. But if it''s pics of my K stone you want, suuuuree! I''ll post those!

I''m not sure if I posted this pics yet or not. I''ve surrendered my stone to my BF so I can''t take any more pictures

... yet!

K .95ct VS2

[sunkist]

I thought the ladies (and men?) of this thread might find this ebay diamond interesting... check out this "k".

 

[DiamondLover23]

I wonder who snapped up the 1.25 K Si1 ACA that was on Whiteflash''s site....

Sorry, Robbie, but I the stone in that link is only interesting because of how different it looks from the other stones in this thread. It seems most people think K stones are yellow and ugly. However, K stones in this thread show that well cut and properly graded K stones face up white and are beautiful diamonds!

 

[robbie3982]

Sunkist, I wasn''t trying to imply that anyone here would find it interesting because they would want to buy it

! I thought people would find it interesting in a funny way, as in "wow, look how ridiculous this ebay stone is!"

I definitely don''t think that K stones are yellow and ugly. My ff took me to look at rings a few weeks ago and I fell in love with one! I can''t wait until he gives it to me so that I can post it on here with everyone else''s!

I''m sorry, I guess that the sarcasm in my post didn''t translate well. I really do think that all of the stones on this thread are absolutely gorgeous!

I gotcha Robbie

I too was just thinking, No wonder poeple have a "stigma" about K color stones. Of course a stone like that ebay one would turn people off, when in actuality, they can be gorgeous!

 

[DiamondLover23]

My error, it was a 1.30 K that was for sale.

Lucky person, whoever got that one!
