Opinions on this green tourmaline?

[Mreader]

It is a vintage piece with rose diamonds, green tourmaline and a warm old mine. Set in platinum. Seems to be a fair price. But who else had the problem of buying some pretty things for a few hundred dollars, and then having too much stuff?! When maybe I should be saving up for a larger white diamond which is on my wish list .

I personally would pass for the following reasons:
- the colour of the Tourmaline is a bit too grey for my liking and does not pop at me
- the cut of the CS does not look too good to my untrained eyes
- it shows signs of surface abrasion, probably not atypical for its age

Personal opinions, preferences and all that.

I agree with @dk168 : the colour would be too ‘dull’ for my liking. Too grey

I agree with the others, but it's a unique piece.

Ah, so you have just saved some money for your diamonds. That’s a good thing

It certainly is a very unique design (not sure how I feel about it). I appreciate you posting, because it gets my design wheels churning.
