Is J too Yellow?

[diamondsR4eVR]

Awe thank you so much! Unfortunately, that cushion is no longer with me although I loved that diamond and ring very much. I am sharing some additional pics for you that I can find. Stats were 1.5 J SI2 BGD Cushion

I love cushions! And yours was amazing. My previous ER was a cushion, but looked more ovalish than squarish. If you don’t mind me asking, why did you get rid of it?

Thank you, cushions have so many different flavors. Mine was an H&A Cushion which really closely mimics the look and performance of a round diamond. I wanted to go up in size and change to a three stone. BGD at the time had a limited cushion inventory in the size/specs I wanted and so the natural decision was to upgrade to a round. I went through a few rounds and this today is my current 3 stone - 0.23/2.1/0.23 I colored BGD signatures.

Wink just made this eternity band for me with J color stones. In most lighting to me it looks super white but in others a little yellow. Also what I am wearing seems to reflect off the diamonds. I was wearing a yellow shirt the other day and the ring seemed more yellow. Also I had an Apple Watch next to it (same hand) with a white band (I usually wear Rolex), and super white next to it made it look a little yellow. All my stones as J color (5.08 with blue medium fluorescence), 3 ct eternity band Wink also made I-J color, ~15 ct tennis bracelet, 1.1 ct round necklace stone, 4.22 J color round earrings. This new eternity is almost 8 ct. I am very happy with J color as I could afford more diamonds at this color range. If I was to redesign my whole jewelry collection and had unlimited funds I would probably choose H color though just because if you have the $ you can afford it. I like big diamonds though so have to balance color with price. Most of my stones as VS clarity especially all other stones like earrings, engagement, eternity band. I highly agree with Wink, cut is the most important factor. Spend $ on the cut with less priority over color and clarity. Makes all the difference.

I am glad to hear that you like your J color. I have an H from Wink and I am surprised how white it is! I cannot tell the difference from my F colored diamond tennis bracelet also from Wink. Thus, I do not mind going down in color (an I color for me) to get the size I want. I also like big diamonds so something is going to have to give. And it will not be the cut nor clarity. I am happy to sacrifice the color a bit though.

PS: spectacular collection! You could make a new thread featuring all your pieces.

I saw a video of your new eternity band from hpdiamonds IG account. It is stunning and mesmerizing! I was wondering who it is made for. Now I know.

Hello All,

I am starting my search for a Diamond. Can you tell me if J is too yellow? This will be set in Platinum or White Gold?

If, in your opinion J is too yellow, where should I start? H, I, ?

Any opinions?

Thanks...

Since you ask the question, you are obviously considering a J, but unsure of it. I would highly recommend you to go with a vendor with a good upgrade program. Given your budget, get a J diamond, if you are not happy with the color, upgrade. See for yourself, whether a J is too yellow for you.

If you search the forum, you will find lots of people do end up upgrade in color. And there are people perfectly happy with their Js and Ks.

Your collection is breathtakingly beautiful. Such classic statement pieces. I love love the studs.

With the other 3Cs being equal, I believe on their own, I and J are great for size on a given budget.

However, colour is very subjective and personal.

On their own, my mind-clean colour range is G/H, and they look very white to me. However, I can detect a hint of colour when they are pitched side by side next to my E colour EC.

Good job I only wear one ring at a time on my RH middle finger, which is ether the E colour EC for dressier occasions, or a lower colour and smaller EC for casual days.

I had an I cushion before and I didn’t see tint. However, as I stated before I am not color sensitive. GL on your new stone. I can’t wait to see it. I know it will be stunning.
