The haziness from strong blue fluorescence combined with graining can give a glow in some lighting that adds to the charm. It just depends on what you are looking for.

I had my eye on this one for quite some time! Check out the price difference from 2023.

That's insane

How did you set it?

I haven't yet, trying to decide if it will be ruby halo, or Moi et toi with an Emerald or Ruby. Seller has a lovely oval step cut too I have my eye on.

I vote for the ruby halo. It would be a really unique ring. (I'm a bit biased as I set my prince cut in a ruby halo )

If you look at the GIA below, what are the side lines? I have only ever seen 2 like that, is it a specialty cut?

Love this!

BlueNile used to have lots of these (mostly smaller) 8 main H&A type stones, but then they all disappeared.
Unfortunately, seems the only way to get H&A like is on deeper stones, which minimizes the LxW. I dont think these
are knockoffs of JPs...I believe these have existed for a while. JP has perfected it, though.

BGD has their version also

It’s a fancy yellow greenish diamond but I thought the color was interesting.

 

[Ibrakeforpossums]

10K, ouch. But so pretty.

 

[winnietucker]

I’m so curious what it looks like IRL.

 

[freddyboston]

...this combo could be "interesting"

For a similar look at a much better price, try a chrysoberyl. That's a common chrysoberyl color, and they have good dispersion.
