I find that even our H bothers me in certain lighting.
Grey, brown, yellow are not what I like.
Wow, I don't think my monitor's working because the diamond in your avatar looks green!

of a pear not looking good in a lower color than in a lower color round due to the cut. Have you seen the diamond? Any
pictures to post? (You know we love pictures!)
Here is is...M color VS2 clarity...what do you think???

littlemissmango said:Oh ArujaJane... how I love that dazzling ring!! (ETA: on second look, is that your Grace in the pic? The shank looks tapered, so perhaps not! I was just so mesmerized by the AVC!)
I think it is interesting that my two favorite rings (AJ's yellow, and Queen Mum's rose gold grace) were both set with an M colored stone. I absolutely LOVE the way they play off of the color of the gold in each. I am currently drooling over an M-colored AVC... I did not realize when I first began my search that colors beyond the near-colorless range could be a good choice for me. But for any OEC or vintage-looking cut, especially the chunky AVC, I absolutely love that warmth. I also agree that it adds an element of even greater depth to those stones. Plus they are so much less expensive -- bonus!
For a crisp RB, though, I think I do prefer a more colorless look. I'm also not sure that I would love that much color on a pear as it would be concentrated only on the tip and might look a little uneven, perhaps. But still, definitely pro-tinted diamonds here!
betty6333 said:Yes, but for a RHR only. For an engagement ring I would not. RHR's I wear many colors, and so a tinted yellow stone wouldnt bother me, as I would find a great setting to show it off.
CBL said:Most definitely, I adore more color in a diamond. 'White' diamonds are around all the time and they don't usually catch my eye, but something like bright ice's new N is just one of a kind. And I thought I only really liked antique stones in lower colors, but after seeing that one...wow. The way it sparkles, the colors it throws, it is truly a showstopper. Doesn't hurt that it's huge, but anyway...
I think the notion of an ering is very different depending on where you go or the group of people you are with; some of my friends have sapphires, inherited antiques, etc, and it is not all that common for someone to have the typical colorless solitaire. An interesting, sentimental, heirloom quality piece is what makes an awesome ering IMO.
But back to the subject: the pear looks beautiful and I love a good M.

This is a very beautiful M. It looks ivory in some pics, and near white in others. It's really beautiful. I see the color, but it seems to work for this stone. Congratulations!
