My Long Awaited 2.56 Ct. Peachy Gray Diamond Upgrade :)

[platinumrock]

Hi Everyone, I haven''t posted in a while, but I am bursting to share my new upgrade My current e-ring is round, 2.35 (recut from 2.57) H SI2 that I will be setting into a pendant. I will always cherish the round diamond that my husband originally proposed with, but deep inside, I always wanted something rather unique and colorful...that truly represents my personality. I''ve been lurking in the Colored Stone forum a lot lately, admiring the beautiful colored stones, and gathering information about my prospective colored diamond at the same time.

Anyways, I finally found her! I even named her "Peachy Precious".

She has soooo much personality and life to her! Her colors and hue change with different lighting conditions. Also, her cut is very unique. It looks like a heart but without a cleft. It''s kinda like what you would get if a pear and a heart had a baby...LOL.....

Here are the specs:

Cut: Cleftless Heart

Weight: 2.56

Color: Peachy Gray (but varies in different lighting and backgrounds)

Clarity: SI2 (more like I1, since there are two white feathers on the lower part of the table and a white crystal inclusion. Because of this, the stone does not
always look eye clean from 10 inches. But I''m okay with it, because the size and color more than makes up for it

)

Measurements: 8.10 X 9.74

PICS TO COME!!!!

This is insane!! I took this pic under a loupe at night, under incandescent lights, and it looks like this! Kinda reddish...my H diamond never did this!

 

[platinumrock]

Now it''s at a slight angle, and the hue changes to a more purple/violet color. This blue background was the lid of a mixed nuts container. I''ve never seen anything like this before!

 

[platinumrock]

Now it changes to a salmon hue with a black background.

 

[platinumrock]

With just macro, under incandescent lights. I love the blurry sparkles!

 

[platinumrock]

Same incandescent lights, but now it looks more champagny peach.

 

[platinumrock]

Last one for now. I have this same cathedral setting with bead-set side stones. The head will be changed from a four-prong to a three-prong to accomodate the new shape. I am soooo excited!!!

 

[EricaR]

Wowwwweee! She is a beaut. PLEASE share photos once you have her mounted!

Oh I''m so sorry but I just don''t believe that it changes colour like that ............... so I think you have to send me the diamond IMMEDIATELY and I will take a very good, looonnnnnngggggggggg look at it and will report back at sometime in the future. What do you think?

LOL...LovingDiamonds your post cracked me up. Alright, I''ll send mine if you send yours

 

[platinumrock]

Happy New Years!! And thank you so much for all of your wonderful comments

. I am usually a lurker and Pricescope is a huge part of my net-surfing routine. But since I received Peachy yesterday, I''ve been hopelessly obssessed with her! Staring, taking loads of pics, barely remembering when to eat. This is a sickness, I tell you!! LOL. Even my husband thinks I''m nuts because I''ve been under its spell all day. I remember when I showed him like the 100th pic, and he rolled his eyes. I gasped and said, "Apologize to the precious!" He laughed and said, "Sorry precious..." Hahaa...

I am seriously becoming like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. Hmmm...that may explain the mysterous color changes.....

Wishing you all a wonderful, prosperous and blingy new year!!!

Wow, what a gorgeous stone, congrats!!!

I love it, you certainly have a wonderfully unique stone.

May I ask why you are thinking of resetting your H into a pendant. Why not keep it as an e-ring? A girl needs options.
