Oblong Heart Diamond

[rockysalamander]

Was perusing colored diamonds on JA and found this one they classify as a modified heart brilliant. I like it for its unique shape and neat color, but maybe puffy trilliant would be a better description.

Cool but also odd.... interesting find

It doesn't look heart shaped at all.

It doesn't look heart shaped at all.

I don't know, I definitely see a resemblance...

It is different...I was a little shocked at the price. In my mind it seemed brown and at 40 points wasnt expecting a $2 grand price tag.
After clicking on the link I see that GIA is telling me that its not brown but its yellow???

I guess I'd never make it as a FCD sorter!

Edit...why would it be more expensive then these???

@tyty333 I had it pegged as "swamp water green".

It says Grayish Greenish Yellow

But I suppose that is why the price is high? that is one poorly cut heart.

It reminds me of Lopsy Fugs.

RS...Swamp water green is more descriptive then any color with "yellow" in it!

Tekate...grayish greenish yellow? Maybe they charge by the letter??? The longer the color name the more per carat you'll pay???

AB...I agree. The color is not appealing to me at all!

 

[Nitedula]

It's a chameleon diamond; maybe that's why the high price? But yes, I don't know why GIA would call it a modified heart, unless they really couldn't find a better name!

I quite like the colour

 

[valeria101]

There are a few of this shape at James Allen; I'd say, all nicer. The colour is trying ...

Noticed this one for a more interesting green WWW, another for its apparently very saturated 'Deep' golden-green autumn shade WWW (reminding a certain tourmaline breed ... & poplar leaves !).
