Want to see a 7 carat blushing beauty?

[Upgradable]

I have mentioned this stone before, but since I have my new camera I asked my sweet little jeweler man if I could do a photoshoot of this beautiful 7.04 carat transitional cut stone. GIA has graded it as O-P (light brown) VS1, but the fact that it has a pinkish tint to it makes it incredibly beautiful! I had to share these pictures.

Don''t look too close. You might go blind!!!!

Beautiful stone! Thanks for posting it upgradable.

Here is the GIA. The jeweler doesn''t agree with the color grade, and is understandably concerned that this could cause him to get less for the stone, but his only options are resubmission to GIA or try to send it to EGL. What do the professionals think of either of these options? The shot of the stone between my fingers is probably the most accurate reflection of what I see with my eye.

Wow, it''s beautiful

! I have a 1 ct OEC with the same exact odd color... it''s around an N or O, and is a pinkish-grey-hint-of-brown color. But a 7 carat??? Holy gods that''s amazing!!

Thanks so much for sharing the pics... how cool that you got to play with it in person!

If your jeweller would like to send the diamond to me I''ll give him my professional opinion ............... and then I''ll disappear in a puff of smoke (with the diamond)!

What a gorgeous diamond! It looks like a peach colour - almost like a very pale Morganite.

I want want want want want!

Such a beautiful diamond, thank you for sharing. Just for fun, I am going to tell my BF to have that set for my e-ring and I cannot wait to see what his reaction will be

I am dreaming of how I would set that baby if it were mine, rose gold or platinum.....

I''ve had that same thought going through my brain for nearly a year. That''s how long I''ve been going to visit this beauty. He keeps saying that it needs to go home with me. I told him that if it did, I would BE homeless!!

This is a suggestion that widget posted when Garry came on asking for input on how to set a 9 carat stone for a customer. I'm going to look through that thread and see what was suggested (you know, in case anyone here would be all over this stone if they just knew the perfect home for it)!

Here was a drawing Garry made.

And here is a design by valeria.

Anyone have some winning lottery tickets for me?

 

[Lorelei]

I remember Garry''s design, that would be gorgeous!

Ohhh...I want that diamond....

I don''t blame you for visiting it often!

 

[purrfectpear]

I like Valeria''s design, the other not so much.

 

[Diva0413]

Holy smokes!!! Hold on, I have to put on my shades...

 

[Dee*Jay]

Please, god, PLEASE let me win the lottery!

(Dee scampers off to the nearest 7-11 to buy a ticket.)

OMG!!!! This is a beautiful stone!! Ever since I saw Surfgirl's ring, I've been checking out all the OEC and Transitional cut stones. I'm normally VERY color sensitive but this.... THIS... is a total different story!! What a yummy beauty!

Thanks for posting this beauty!
