Hello, I am almost ready to purchase this 1 ct diamond labeled with G/H color

Is it worth the possibly I3 black inclusions for the vivid flashes of violet?il_570xN.1315508553_4n38.jpg

I would say no . Only if you have in mind that specific look . It will look in real life no better than the rock from the garden :oops: but if that cost like 100$, take it and make fun necklaces. :twirl:

a pendant would be nice, or a ring perhaps. I just don't know about how noticeable the black spots are.:confused:
 
I'm not seeing any vivid flashes of violet that you speak of. What do you plan to do with it? It is very included. Some people like that organic, natural
look. If you like that look then go for it. I would make sure you are not paying a lot for it. But as for buying it due to its violet flashes...dont waste
your money.

Can you plz tell us how much they want for that stone ? I would be not comfortable to wear that stone as ring bcs if that many inclusions ,if you hit it hard ,it can crack or chip . If you like that kind of imperfect look ,I guess they called like salt and pepper diamonds, those are pretty fun non expensive alternatives

I would be paying about 850 CAN. Yes, salt and uncracked pepper. I love the fancy Gray however wonderfully mysterious.

Thank you for being honest. i was referring to the darker areas of the interior of the stone as it flips onto the pavillion and the edge faces along the crown have a few flashes of purple as well. As mentioned, it could be a reflection.
 
I think they’re filming near a window, and that’s is giving the shades of blue/purple you’re seeing. It seems to only come from one direction.

that was my initial response however this vendor has many diamonds of similar size but varying widely with inclusions and tone and hue. none of them have any sort of blue or other colors reflecting off of the surface. how could the blue sky be left on only one item in the whole store?il_570xN.1322316345_3quq.jpg il_570xN.1322289847_hzjm.jpg il_570xN.1275039564_rdwd.jpg these are other options that i see without the purple and taken in the same conditions.
 
in the end, i suppose its not worth the risk of it being a reflection.

Maybe he/she has a different T-shirt that day if you really love that stone and they have return policy ,then take it and see ! Or ask the vendor .if the stone has some blue color ??

thanks for the advice. i will check out if they have a return policy... maybe it's worth seeing in person.:D
 
Having blue or purple visible would seem to increase its value. I'd be surprised if they did note it, but nothing ventured nothing gained I suppose.:mrgreen2:

Personally, I would not waste my time or energy with such a heavily included stone. I would suggest you save your money to put towards something much nicer. Just my opiniono_O

thankyou :) i definitely would rather less inclusions.
 
.

I read the word 'violet' & see RED, KWIM ?

It is nice to have to ask more than once to be sold an item such as this ...
 
Unless you set that stone pavilion up, and wear purple or blue, you'll probably never see it in real life.
 
I agree with others that whatever color you see is most likely reflection. I personally would not pay as much money for a heavily included stone like that but if that is what you are after and the vendor has a good return policy - go for it.

You could spend that 850 on a nice gray spinel and get a prettier stone with that same rustic feel.

My gray spinel looks violet sometimes, and it's soooo dreamy! ;) ...one of those wouldn't set you back that much, so you could get a cool setting too for the price you'd pay for that highly included diamond.

I don't see violet in the video at all so I doubt you are going to see anything other than a heavily included white diamond most of the time. For that amount I'd buy a coloured stone in a colour you like, like a spinel or aquamarine or buy a grey or a black diamond.
 
That spinel is gorgeous @msop04 :love:
 
@msop04 - do you mind if I ask who sourced/cut/sold you your gorgeous spinel?
