FYI: The photos were taken on stark white paper, if that explains anything about the color.
Thanks again for any comments.

MY opinion is the same. Its a really great stone.

I have no idea of your budget but I saw this OEC that looks like it has potential at 7mm and it is EGL H color:

I'd be interested in myself if I weren't in the midst of trying to buy another stone!

Beautiful faceting and nice symmetry. It's a winner!

 

[AnnaH]

I did see that one, DS, as I watch that vendor. It is really white, but I think I'm kind of stuck on this one.

 

[AnnaH]

Thanks for all the input. I needed the validation because, until recently, I didn't know I wanted an oec.
I'm waiting to see possible settings from Adam. I think I want a crown type setting. I saw one on Ebay.

Well it is a very pretty stone and I can't wait to see it set!

 

[AnnaH]

Yes, i am hoping for the crown style perhaps a little less ornate than the ebay example. Reprodution is fine.
Ds, i've been folowing your hunt. I love diamonds and jewelry probably as much as anyone but am not so adventurous as you and the other ps stars. When it comes to diamond adventures, i will live vicariously through you all. It's been fun.

Oh, wow, what an awesome OEC! That perfect Kozibe effect...so rare! Reminds me of that warm 5c honker on GOG.

I like the one that AnnaH is choosing too but just had to comment on the faceting of the stone on DZ.

 

[AnnaH]

A, actually my diamond has that effect, although none of the photos show it. I only see it under a loupe. I guess you would have to have a really big diamond to see it otherwise.

Not everyone loves the kozibe effect. I do though.

I love kozibe and culets. They make me giddy, and I'm not even sure why!

Cool AnnaH! Your stone is awesome.

Based on an older post on PS i believe the Kozibe effect shows a quality cut.

I noticed that most of the new AVR's have the Kozibe effect.

 

[AnnaH]

Yes, A, I'm loving this stone more and more. Major sparkle. I was looking at settings, and a local gemnologist said it was graded accurately, although it seemed whiter than a K to him. Now for the setting.
