Here's a
remarkable pink diamond. OK, purplish pink.....TO my eye, the purple aspect
makes the pink even pinker. If that makes sense..
it's
not "deep pink", yet the color is obvious. It's a lovely shade.
As you can see above, the diamond
has a GIA "Color Origin" report.
I believe the reason it was
submitted for this color only report, is because GIA would have graded the
clarity I1. Is I1 bad?
It really depends on the nature of
the I1.
if it['s a big black spot in the
middle of the diamond, it would likely be very noticeable.
This stone has a few wispy
feathers- you can see them below on the left side of the diamond.
They are not obvious in real life.
The cut is such
an important aspect of any diamond.
This remarkable
diamond was cut to resemble a modern round brilliant, while projecting as much
pink as possible. I believe they have succeeded- the cutter is actually thinking
of putting it back on the wheel in hopes of coaxing a Fancy Purplish Pink ( As
opposed to the current Fancy Light Purplish Pink). If he succeeds, the
price will double. He's allowed us a few weeks with it. Buy it someone! Can't
you hear the diamond screaming "Take me home before they put me back on that
cutting wheel!!!"
It has great
brilliance. Plus- look at that color!
The stone is offered loose. We
have extensive experience setting pink diamonds- the setting is extremely
important to the end result
