Pictures of H- I-J Color Stones?

[northstar_78]

Please share your pics of H-I-J color stones! Here''s a few things I was thinking about...I attched a picture of a lovely Asscher solitaire even though I''m still thinking about bezels. If I went the way of the bezel I could probably get away with more color, correct? But as long as the center stone faces up white I could get it set into a solitaire? Definetly white gold or platinum for the solitaire.

I don''t have good "eyes" to distinguish between the different colors. So maybe that''s a blessing in disguise. I could get a larger and cleaner stone as long as I''m willing to sacrafice a bit on color.

I''d love to see any pics of stones within the H-I-J range. Thanks!

Mine is an H set in platinum. It''s never looked anything less than white to me... unless I turn it sideways and place it beside a D/E/F.

In the "J stones set in platinum?" thread, there are many, many beautiful H-Js and even a K or two that look very white, even when mounted in an open white metal, setting.

I think it depends on your eyes and how sensitive to color you are.

HTH!

Northstar,

My center stone is a J. It is set in a white gold head. I''m sorry this isn''t a better pic. My center stone faces up pretty white although in certain light there is a slight warmth. Many people have J and k stones set in platinum and they look wonderful.

Here''s the link to Mara''s thread with tons of pics of rings with J stones

rb(same diamond in both settings) in the pics is a GIA J, 1.08ct. the ring guard has I colored marquises (acc''d to Fay Cullen description)

This is my "I" stone. I can detect a bit of yellow/warmth from the side.

Hi Bluedawg,

Your rings are gorgeous! I was wondering how many pointers are the diamonds in your eternity band?


Thank you,

Lori

I''d caution you that considering how ideally cut RB H stones look isn''t necessarily representative of how you can expect to see color in an asscher.

Asschers are step-cut; they are a totally different animal than a round brilliant. They aren''t cut to be "sparkly". As such, it''s not really an apples-to-apples, meaningful comparison to look at a bunch of H-I-J round brilliant, ideally cut stones and expect the color visibility/masking to translate the same way to an asscher.

Thanks, Lori. The e-band has 4-pointers; my ring is a size 4 and 0.92 ctw (the size 6 would be 1.00ctw).

Here is an "E" colored emerald cut...I know you''re looking for H-I-J colored, but since this is a step-cut stone, like your coveted Asscher, you''ll be able to have something to compare to...

Hope this helps as others post their step-cuts too!

Bluedawg...

Thanks! I really need to take some pix of the rings in the sunlight!! Prisms everywhere!!

)

Just giving you a hard time!!! LOL

I hear ya loud and clear! The first ring I fell in love with was a HUGE cushion and the jeweler told me that a cushion cut is the kind that "glows" in the candelight. I understand that Asschers won''t "pop" like rounds and that''s fine with me. I kind of like that.

Oops, sorry! I was a GDI myself, but with lots of Greek friends... so I understand the major boo-boo I made. I read your username as "A Chi-O Alumna"

I would love to see more pics of your EC

My 1.77 ct. I colored asscher:

i''ve got a 1.2C GIA J, and here are some pictures. however, i want to warn you taht some of these will look yellow solely because of the light that it was taken under. here''s my advice: for me, i wanted a bigger stone in terms of carat weight. so my fiance decided to go with a GIA certed J (which might equate to a higher color for EGL or other certs, since GIA tends to be stricter with color, this is debateable) that had med. blue flouresence that counteracts with the yellow. what it comes down to is this: in terms of color, when i''m under flourescent lighting, it is pure white and sparkle and flashes of rainbows. under other lighting it can appear yellow. but the only time i''ve ever REALLY noticed any tint of color is when i compared the stone to my CZ earrings.

that last picture was actually taken in the light of an orange sunset so it looks practically orange. just wanted to show off my arrows.
