Whiter stone

[xxxxxx]

This is interesting to me because my 55 table and deeper stone diamond is very bright, I think more than my Super ideal with a 57.4 table and shallower. So is it the added “whiteness” of the 55’s E vs the 57’s H?

You have an E stone vs a H stone. Im pretty sure the E will be whiter regardless of the table size. Probably table size etc. really only comes into play inthe same Color Grade (plus/minus one color grade).

I think what it is meant by bigger table=white stone is that the bigger table might optically distract from yellow-ish hue that is observable to the naked eye when a diamond faces up. H will always be an H and E will always be an E. With super-ideals, the amount of fire and brilliance also might optically cover up the color as people will be more focused on the sparkle than the color. It is a little trick, if you will, that super-ideals provide so that one does not needlessly have to spend money on the color. Thus, for many people, it is recommended to increase the size and sacrifice the color.

I prefer smaller (55 max) tables for F and up colors and bigger for G and down. Now, I color is where most people start to notice the tint so I am not sure if the large table would work for more tinted diamonds.

What a lovely ring, so bright and shiny... glad you finally are happy with the stone and color! I love the Cartier Tank Francaise watch as well!

I wanted to share these pictures because the sparkle factor on this stone is insane! This is a stone that could represent WF in a super ideal beauty pageant. It lights up the couch!

 

[MissGotRocks]

Just beautiful!!

 

[TweetyBird23]

Just beautiful!!

@MissGotRocks, she's a winner!

Also, for anyone worried that a 57% table won't be a firey stone, it is not an issue. I see the rainbow sparkles outdoors and indoors in diffused lighting.

The proportions look different depending on the camera angle. For reference, here is the same 2.5ct (~8.82mm) on size 4:

LOVE IT! Congrats! I think it’s perfectly proportioned to your finger size.

Thank you @Dmndsr4evr11! It's Whiteflash's semi-custom Elegant head setting in 14k gold (their standard is 18k rose gold) with a 6 prong platinum head.

Can I ask why you did 14k gold?

Whiteflash has so many that look so similar l— elegant, half round, knife edge... I’m having a hard time figuring out the differences.

I think I’m going to have mine reset in one of these in yellow gold with a white metal prongs.

@TweetyBird23 Please update us on How you feel about your beautiful diamond? Is the H color your sweet spot?

 

[TweetyBird23]

Yes, that’s the one!

Honestly, the 14k rg was a mistake. I asked for a quote in 14k rg without realizing they would make it as requested. I would have been fine with their stock 18k rg as my wedding band is 18k. Both are lovely and I don’t notice a big difference. Whiteflash just went out of their way to deliver a ring exactly as I requested!

@Lessics you are so sweet to ask! I adore the diamond and am so happy with it all around. The sparkle is INCREDIBLE and the color no longer bothers me! The only thing I would upgrade in the future may be the size or perhaps an even higher color. A 3 ct H VS ACA would run +$17k more so if the 2.5 H VS1 ACA turns out to be my final upgrade, I consider myself a very lucky girl! I wouldn’t have chosen this beauty without the help of our amazing PS community. Thank you to all of you for sharing your excitement, expertise and experience. I am so grateful!

I have been reading through your journey and I love that you have been really taking your time to pick the right stone! It's gorgeous! Congratulations!

I’m so happy to hear that you are happy. It really suits your hand so well. It’s such a elegant look!

@Lessics

I just have to say that is one of the most incredible photos ever! I've looked at a lot of fire photos - every single one is unique and magical. But I have never seen a diamond radiating like the sun, burning with nuclear fission from it's white hot core.

Thank you, @Texas Leaguer! It is easy to capture the fire on this beauty. I used a simple camera phone - no filter - and the stone was likely smudged from life with a toddler. Even its brilliance indoors is remarkable. It is an incredible diamond and working with Brittany and the rest of your team has been a joy. I look forward to upgrading my earrings in the future. THANK YOU!

Well, I just finished catching up from when I last posted on your thread and am delighted to see that you were able to get the H stone set and on your hand! It is sooo gorgeous and it looks so bright and white, too! Realistically, that is a great size. It still looks huge on your finger, and I think it's perfect in cut, color, clarity, and size! So happy this worked out for you!

Thank you @diamondseeker2006! It's definitely the most beautiful diamond I have owned although I've come to appreciate the different personalities of my previous diamonds! There's something magical that happens to a stone when all 4 C's are excellent and converge into sparkle perfection. I better not spend too much time on Pricescope tho. Too many tempting beauties!

Thank you, @VeryUndecided!

I. Hear. You. That whole super white / super clean / super ideal cut convergence is luxury and perfection personified. I am SO glad you went for the quality you did. This is a next-level stone and a gorgeous ring.

Congratulations. Great choice.

@TweetyBird23 are you still in love with your ring? I’m looking to make a similar move from a larger lower color (2.38 I) to a smaller (2.1 H) with Whiteflash because the tint sometimes bothers me. How was it for you going to a smaller size stone? Any regrets?

Hi @Mamajemmy! I still think the stone is absolutely perfection and I’m relieved not to have the tint bother me anymore! It’s a great size but I do miss my larger stone! It’s always been a size vs color consideration for me. I am tempted to get a larger I color stone but haven’t pulled the trigger because a 2.5 H VS1 ACA is an incredible diamond!

What does your gut tell you? Which one would bother you less when you look down at your finger? I just remembered that I had a 2.3 I SI1 ACA that was also “absolute perfection”. If you are realistic about the stone showing more warmth than your H, it might be worth a shot!

 

[TweetyBird23]

Oh, I’m sorry. It’s late. I thought you were going from a 2.1 H to a 2.3 I. Well, you already know the tint bothers you at times. Now having a 2.5 H, in hindsight I wouldn’t have stayed with a 2.88 J (that faced up like a 3 carat) because the tint really bothered me. BUT I might have stayed with my 2.9 K and called it a day because it was big, beautiful and although tinted, the price was great. It was a go big or go home mentality. I went home.
