I never buy MRB diamonds. Seriously, this will be the first one I have bought but the color is perfect, the perfect bourbon on the rocks color. It’s a 2.15 VS in a platinum HW style setting from Diamonds by Lauren. The hand shots are from Sandra at DBL.

It is a color I’ve searched for for a long time - very excited to have found it. I thought a yellow oval would scratch the itch, but it didn’t. So that ring was rehomed - turns out I’m not that into yellow stones without modifiers. I found a fun uncertified brown cushion from Alex Park but it’s not the size I wanted long term. It’s a fun ring but not the piece I wanted.

I will do hand shots of my own when the ring arrives next week.

Mods: I just noticed that one photo still has DBL’s water mark but I can’t edit the post :(

Can anyone delete that last photo?

You know a box is going to be good when it comes with this label!

This ring really carefully packed which is always appreciated. I opened the wonderful Russian doll of UPS boxes to find my bourbon beauty.

Wow. The color was everything David’s web listing and Sandra said it was on the phone, and more. Diamonds By Lauren should be a go to vendor for anyone looking for a colored diamond. Full Stop.

Sleek cool platinum - love. Fits like a glove and feels like she’s been part of my stack and ring collection and stack for years.

After some calls, I went out to get a photo in the autumnal sun. Stunning.

Lastly, a few trying to try and show the facet pattern of the fancy yellow brown 2.15 VS2 center.

David aka @Rockdiamond and Sandra were great to work with.

Great question. Very close to my favorite Basil Hayden bourbon, in crystal tumbler, on the rocks. That said, it’s an older GIA certificate from 2013. I wonder with the newer way of naming the modifiers it wouldn’t be fancy yellow brownish orange. There is some peachy, orangey tones for sure.
