Please help with this LGD… blue nuisance?

earthlinkjo · Jan 23, 2023

Hello! I am looking at the following LGD.

It is HPHT, but does not say anything further about what type of HPHT or the materials (boron, etc???). I thought that because it is GIA E rated I would be safe against brown or blue influences, but I am now reading otherwise on here.

Could you take a look and share your thoughts/opinions?

Comments beyond the blue nuisance subject also welcome. Ideally I was looking for a stone closer to 3 ct., but this was the best I could find (on my own

so far given the stats and pricing, and wanting to ensure it is GIA certified, HPHT and VVS2 or higher. I don’t mind an F color at all, but read that sometimes they can be more brown/blue, so I assumed going E was just easier.

We need a video in order to assess blue nuance fully. Blue nuance can exist in stones of any color, including D, even though by definition a D should not have any color. This stone is also priced on the high side. Take a look at this one.

Also looking for HPHT process only, GIA certified (full report, no dossier) and for the GIA report to state “no evidence of treatment detected”. It may be super silly, but there is a company that you can resell your LCD to, but they have strict parameters as to what they will buy. But, as the big argument is that LCD‘s have no resale value, I liked that I found at least one source that said that simply was not true. Not that I ever plan to sell it, but I do like the security of knowing it at least might retain some resale value like earth mined ones do… to some degree.

Hope that helps explain my madness and why I am willing to spend more.

3.45 is larger than what I would ideally want… really was hoping to find closer to a 3 ct.

I actually found really nice one with lower price at Gemsny.com
They currently have 20% sale so its really a good deal if you are going to use outside vendor to set the ring.
Maybe you wanna take a look!

Thanks Apple! Oh wow, too big for me. I was hoping to find a 3 ct., but the 3.45 I listed and linked to was the closest I could find given my desired parameters (GIA, HPHT only with GIA note of “no evidence of treated was detected, VVS2 or higher, E). I just need to understand if it has the blue nuisance or not

Definitely no blue nuance on this stone. You're good to go!

Yaaaaay!

Kim, thank you so much! You have been a huge help answering my questions these past two days.

Jewelry/stone buying can be so fun and exciting (and rewarding in the end))… but it can also be very fearful and stressful.

I really appreciate your help!

I see! I don't think there is blue nuance for the one you are asking.

But I found some really nice ones close to the one you are asking with less price tag.
And FD make really beautiful ring and they offer stone review for you to choose.
Of course, you still need KiM or Deja to double check those stones like you are interested in.
