Hi guys,

This is a bit of a cross post as it's a coloured stone piece that I'm considering, but I suspect most of the value is in the setting, so wanted to ask for opinions on the diamonds specifically as well.
These are marquise and pear shapes and much smaller round melee. I know they're not going to be top quality but if they're eye clean and not likely to flash yellow and brown, then I'm okay.

Just don't want to end up with "ice / frozen spit" diamonds

Was quoted slightly under US$2,000 for the entire thing. Diamonds are 2 tcw

TIA!

Can you post under different lighting?

I think I can ask the seller for more photos. What sort of lighting conditions would you recommend asking for?

Just afraid that they're going to say that they've already provided at least one outdoor and indoor light picture
 
Based on only those 2 pics then, the pendant looks decent. Getting great pears and that many, is going to be a tall order anywhere. It’s a fair price for the cwt and size. But only you know how picky you are. They won’t Flash yellow or brown, but may appear slightly gray and dingy overall—I’ve had melee like this before.
 
In the third photo, I do see some yellowness to the pears. You should not be afraid to ask the seller for more pics. I know melee is hard to photograph but those pics you provided are not super crispy and it's really hard to tell.

Can the seller send you a short vid of how the pendant blings in outdoor & indoor light?

Thanks, I will ask for that!
