O/P Colour

[pwritchie]

Hi all.

What a great idea for a forum..I am desperate.

My wife has found a platinum ring..it has a 1.85 princess cut VS1 stone in the centre..with a number of baguettes (2 along the sides.
The colour of the 1.85 stone is O/P.

As this is the lowest colour that I have ever seen I am afraid of the stone.

The ring can be purchased for $7,000 Can (or about $4700 USD).

Does anyone have an opinon on this colour grade?

Pwritchie, welcome to the forum

With O/P color you the diamond should be visibly yellowish. You should be able to get at least L/M (still a bit yellowish though) for the money.

Actually, I happen to have a fondness for the lower colors. I think I just have a weakness for diamonds in general. But there is a particular site that I browse through quite often that sells Antique-style settings with the lower colored diamonds, and I think they're just lovely.

I have an O/P stone. It's very well cut and it's gorgeous. You'll find that even with an O/P stone, you have to 'look' for its tint. I guess I feel about color the way others feel about clarity. If it doesn't detract from the beauty of the stone, why worry about it?
