hi all,
I recently purchased a 1.36 ACA I VS2 diamond. Prior to that I looked in stores at several G/H/I diamonds and found that I wasn’t particularly colour sensitive so decided on the I to get more for my money.
The diamond arrived and it sparkles beautifully. It looks icy white in outdoors sunlight and in most lighting, however in some lighting (at home and in some office rooms) it appears REALLY yellow. Not tints of yellow, but just yellow. Is this due to the colour or is this due to the lighting alone (i.e. a DEF stone would also perform the same way under certain light conditions?)
I don’t like the yellow colour in the diamond, but I guess what I would like to know is whether this happens in all colourless and near colourless diamonds - in which case I would be ok with it as it’s it would just be physics / lighting and how diamonds reflect the light around it. Or whether it is showing yellow because the colour is I and therefore the colour shows under certain lighting.
I’m still within my 30 days so keen to make a decision soon as to whether I want to keep it or not.
I’ve looked into stores again with my diamond. But it doesn’t appear yellow in their lighting so it’s hard to compare.
I’ll upload some pics too
