Which stone?

Not exactly a glamour shot but you can see the tint in my other GIA K, in the cluster, but not in the CBI....

I own a 2.66 K VS1 CBI and I actually contemplated trading up to the future 3ct J, but it isn’t in my current budget. I love my K and the only time I notice tint face up is in the car on a cloudy day, and would buy another one in a heartbeat, even a lower clarity. I can’t find the VS1 inclusions even with a 10x loupe. So when the money exists I may order a custom cut 3.5 ct K, if they can find the rough... probably 5 years from now.

So I had a very good cut K and it looked really white to me- I'm not too color sensitive. So I'm SURE a super ideal cut K will face up whiter than that. I looked through all your posts about your stone! It's beautiful and I love your setting too!

@lydial they are sending me a yellow gold and white gold temp holder so I can see which metal I prefer. I really love yellow gold lately...

To my eyes, diamonds look whiter in yellow gold. I'll have a while to ponder it. My bands are 18k yellow gold and platinum, so I'm leaning towards yellow gold. I cannot decide on a solitaire, and all the ones I want are at least 2k, so I am going to go with the free cbi solitaire for now- just need to decide on what color gold

Also, it's obvious now to me that I'm a serial upgrader, so who wants to spend $2000 on a solitaire when the chances of me upgrading this stone are like 1000%?

Is it possible to request YG shank with WG head? That is how my pear is set.

Alrighty, happy to oblige! The only place that’s bright enough right now is in the bathroom! Lol
