internet is up and down grrrr comcast.
When the upper girdles are oversteep they become less effective at returning light . pinkish to white in IS muddy green in aset and the diamond appears small for its mm size.

Wow that is an amazing pendant! It looks huge and bright! The setting is so perfect. Love the chain! Does your stone have any fluorescent properties? Maybe that is why is looks so bright and white?

Totally agree that the diamonds we see every day are probably way below J or K. I bought a K-colored OEC (my first OEC and now I am addicted, thanks PS) and I figured it would be really yellow like certain icky diamonds that come out of box stores and are supposed to be white but aren’t. I figured yellow is ok because the OEC is supposed to have an old-timey looks. Well I get the thing and start wearing it and notice that it is a lot whiter than the diamonds I was seeing every day.

I hope more and more people become educated and start demanding what their money is supposed to pay for. Someone wants to get a low color diamond, great, but they should not be paying what they are paying at certain brick and mortar chain stores.

Ugh. We left Comcast for the same reason. I am grateful for the lesson - I’m going to add it to my list of image artifacts to look for! Thank you. I am grateful!

Thank you! The whole setup is so great - and I’m glad you loved it, too. GIA says no fluorescence.

Well said. That’s why I tell so many people about this great community. So much to learn!
