Alpha Imports - colors at good prices.

What do you think about this:

Not specifically the blue, but if you like colored diamonds this site has some perhaps interesting things. Some of them are not color or clarity enhanced.

The price probably speaks of the quality but it could be fun for a colored diamond rhr, no?

(Same reply on RockyTalky) Not really, everything I looked at said I3 and "enhanced", plus it looks like the same photo being reused again and again. For something fun I''d rather have one of the Gemesis stones.

Looking at the price, I wonder how the REAL stone looks like. It appears to be a sample picture used as a stock picture.

Hi,
I have looked at auction prices for natural colored diamonds and found that an I-1 blue or red sold at very high prices.
I have read that colored diamonds, whether enhanced or not, are not judged by the same standards as a white diamond, although on this forum, people don''t make this distinction.
The picture does appear to be a stock photo. I own an enhanced blue diamond , 1.55 carats I-1 and it is the color of the hope diamond, not a carribean blue. I also saw Valeria''s enhanced light blue diamond which was beautiful. I wonder , since natural blue diamonds are so expensive, whether or not enhanced diamonds won''t become more accepted in the future, much as heated rubies and sapphires are accepted.
I love mine and think you ought to consider it.
Thanks,
Annette
