Hi, PS, just sharing a little something I did recently...
A .24ct light pink, heart-cut Argyle diamond set in a fine rose gold bezel setting.
It is 8PR/P1 on the Argyle grading scheme specifically (it is certified); I did not sent it to GIA as I live in Australia so it takes a lot of time and money to get it graded. Not only that, I don't like sending around expensive items via international post much due to security issues... (does anyone? lol)
Anyhow, I assume it is somewhere around (GIA)light-ish, so I entitled the thread that.

...and the background helper is my gorgeous kitty! She's quite a scene-stealer.

The above photos are all taken under the natural lightings (sunlight + indoors by the window), and no modifications were made.

This is beautiful! Such a gentle blush colour!

How long is the chain & can we see a neck shot?

The Rose gold really compliments the diamond beautifully, it's lovely.

Oh my goodness, what a little beauty!!! :love: :sun: Her setting is absolutely perfect for her ::) Please post a picture or two of her on the neck!!

And I have to say - I can't imagine a GIA report would ever take precedence over Argyle certification when it comes to establishing cachet and value! So I don't think you're missing anything at all ::)

Some thoughts came to mind as many others. PRETTY. If there was ever a gender for diamonds this one would be a shy beautiful girl. Congratulations on such a beautiful piece.

@Alex T @Nitedula @Platinum-blonde @yssie
Firstly, thank you for all your kind comments and sorry about the delay in reply!
I realised actually how unattracitve my neck was(...) when I tried to take more pics, lol, so I struggled with the pics.
Attached here first is a shot with some filter to show its setting, length of chain and such; which means the colour isn't as obvious.

The overall necklace's length is ~15 inches, =40cm.

I also realised that most phones' selfie camera isn't as high in quality as their rear one, but, anyhow...
These pics are without any filter; as you can see, the colour is more obvious in these photos.

@GeorgieQ Thank you! And so is your cat in your DP! So fluffy! :)

@Austina @MissGotRocks @yennyfire @kathley Thank you for reassuring my choice! I was a little hesitant with RG at first (was thinking Pt instead as I tend to pick up contrast way more than similarities personally...) but I'm quite happy with how it turned out. :)

@CravingDiamonds @Queenie60 @ac117 @secretagentlaura @AprilBaby @GearGirly @luv2sparkle @tyty333 @canuk-gal Thank you for all your kind comments!♥

@LLJsmom Thank you for the compliment and your description is very creative! It indeed does get a little shy in some lightings.

That's gorgeous. We have great labs in Sydney google diamond and gemstone labs Australia, it should come up with a few, but if it came certified by Argyle or someone reliable you should not need to get it done again.
