My intense yellow EC goes green like that. On your list if you ever sell. SO cool!
LOL! The growing list!
Well, I hate to disappoint some of you, but I sent it to DK to evaluate. @jaqjaqjaq thank you for what you said, I DO love it 'as is' but I want to enhance its beauty! I believe this will be a "forever" keeper piece for me which i only have 3 other of those, lol. It's just way too cool/unique to give up, I feel like I'll never be able to buy anything else like it.
So, DK actually called me. I have done, i dont know, 30 projects with him and i never once spoke to him, he has an accent! Who knew!
I told him to send to GIA for me. He said there's a natural rough that wasnt polished so he could polish it and it would absolutely increase the clarity from GIA but because it would affect light return and performance he thought it best not to touch it because it could affect how my eye saw the color.
So, we're not touching it. Just sending to GIA.
I just bought an uncertified ring from a local store's estate section. Inside its a pretty champagne color and outside its very yellow, is this due to florescence?? I am going to send it to GIA but I am curious. I can return it but I kind of think it's cool.
Sold as 2.53 carat but I havent measured it yet
Here are some inside and outside pics... The outside pics look true color to me, the inside pics i am not sure if it's capturing the color correctly, because it really looks without any yellow very champagne inside.
Also, as far as "value" would this behavior make it more or less 'valuable', I want to make sure I didnt overpay too much (probably doesnt matter as I think i love it already! That said if you 'know' me i tend to keep things a few months and then sell it because i have jewelry impulse control issues... hahaha)
Inside
Inside (i swear its more champagne than yellow inside)
the back is completely open so i think the pics with the white background show the true color better
Diffused outside
full sun
So, this is fluorescence right??
I had it GIA certified and it actually came back medium blue fluorescence !
2.72 ct, fancy brown yellow, medium blue
