Should I pull the trigger on this ACA diamond?

Could be fire.

Hmmm. I don't know.

Also it is an H. There is a very slight tint to it. So... if it bothers you... then you may want to change it.

Just because you see a slight tint though.. that just means your eyes work. Letting it bother you, that's your choice.

Gypsy's right, it's probably fire. A well cut stone picks up light and color from everything and anything.

Yep you can make an F or a G look tinted too if it is picking up colour in the wrong lighting situation and from the surrounding environment. DS and I were having this discussion every diamond I have ever owned looks like crap colourwise and tinted in my car for example. She has noticed this in cars too!!! But if it is really bugging you in every lighting situation (natural day light outdoors is a really good place to observe diamond colour) then you possibly are one of those rare people that can see colour in diamonds and you might need to exchange it for something whiter.

OP - it is possible that your stone is a low H, meaning closer to an I color stone.

Or it may be a solid H and you prefer colorless over near-colorless diamonds.

I will tell you I've had and returned an ideal-cut H color due to color, and more recently I came across a pair of ideal-cut H-color diamonds that were white enough for me (though I did not keep them).

You could reach out to your WF rep and let them know you are seeing some warmth in this H ACA, and ask that they gather up some similar-sized H and G ACAs and see which if any stand out as more colorless than the others.

Thanks for all of the replies. It looks incredible when in natural daylight. The whole thing is icy white. I'm hoping what I'm seeing is the yellow from the fire or just tinting from my environment.

That's where you're going to see the real color of the stone, natural daylight. I'm wearing a D that looks yellow in some lights, but that's obviously from the surroundings. Now we want pics!
