@lovedogs the color on that looks like a faint pink for sure, it has to be an error.

One diamond 2, do you have a chunky funky cut like that? I would love to see one in motion.

Nope, don't have one. The checkerboard pattern round is on my wishlist for sure, but I'd prefer v strong blue fluor instead of strong.

I want to ask them about the color of the first one

You're such a bad good influence!! That is such an odd color; I can't believe it's labeled as an F - I can't imagine how it looks in the sun with strong blue fluorescence. I would have thought that was a K-L faint brownish pink

Pretty pinky peach color...I wonder how much it shows up in person?

I like the wonky checkboard/arrows too.

Both these would be fun to play around with!

No error, just chatted with JA. They don't know why it looks pinkish. They think either:
1. Since grade is given face down its white from that view
2. Something about photography
3. It won't be noticeable IRL

How soon can you have it and be sending us photos?

Thanks for your kind enabling :D. As long as they have it, I would assume a few days. I am still waiting on the confirmation email that it is available.

Part H&A, part step cut...do you have the link @oncrutchesrightnow ? Curious about what the report shows as faceting
pattern. Probably just shows a generic cushion pattern but ???

Sorry, I just had the photo. It is from Brilliance. There are a lot of similar stones so they should be easy to find.

+1 for spring cuts. Recommend them for people who like emerald cuts but want diagonal facets, or people who like the concept of radiants but find the facets to be mushy in execution. They are available in 1 carat sizes too.

I love that one,but I hate working with Brilliance. I bought one stone from them and then they started bugging me a lot. Does that always happen with them?

They will hound you. I want to get the video for lovedogs's "this weirdness" stone but I hesitate.

Yup. I've asked them for videos a bunch of times, and always get emails, calls, etc.

Some really cool, beautiful, and seemingly well cut weird lab and synthetic (not getting into the stone label debate) stones.

Laser scrap gets recycled into something really pretty.

1) I love the pink tint. Too bad it’s just bad photography. Why would they do that? I’ve seen so many JA diamonds tinted ugly, and I don’t see why they don’t try to control for that…

2) that’s a Checkerboard Transitional. Yes! Also the “zoned” diamond looks a bit like a Checkerboard Transitional too.

SIGH, I love all these wonky diamonds.

It arrived :) I like it. My 1.41 lab is shown in a couple pics for comparison.
The L Si2 seems deeper.

Gobs of personality! I really like it, I even like the inclusions. Will you keep it?

I sure will! I was expecting/bracing myself to not like it, but I really do love it, little inclusions and all. It does have a deep hall of mirrors effect I like very much. More so than my other emerald cut. Now to decide a setting. I wrapped it in tinfoil and saw no effect on the stone, so considering that bezel setting, or some sort of bezel setting. Also, maybe Sholdt fern finish (bezel or 1/2 bezel) in yellow gold? It would be rustic like the stone. Yellow gold or plat...hmmm


Outside:

Yesss. My best EC is stupid deep, like 81%, and it just doesn't turn off.
Love your setting ideas! YG or plat., you can't go wrong.

I think the color and depth of yours is what I love about it. I literally stalk your diamond. :D I "think" the depth is what I like about mine. Still not sure "why" but just glad I do and don't need to return to Ritani.
