Hi,

After the great advice I received from a previous post, I tentatively selected a purple diamond and ordered it to be able to see it in person. I would love to get thoughts on the diamond. Here are the details (additional screenshots attached):
  • 0.20 ct Cushion cut
  • Fancy Deep Grayish Pink Purple
  • SI2 (GIA graded)
  • 3.31x3.21x2.18mm

I also was able to take some pictures with a few other purple diamonds I ordered to better understand sizes and colors in comparison to what I was seeing on a screen. The other diamonds range from 0.05 to 0.09ct and are Fancy Pink Purple to Fancy Intense Pink Purple, though they all have a very similar color. Here is a collection of the pictures (full images also attached; apologies for cell phone pictures, hopefully they aren't completely useless):

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Here is a link to the item page for the full video:
 
While I like the hue itself it's rather dark so the hue will be hiding except in the brightest light.
I'd keep shopping.
 
Love this diamond - but surprised that it is graded deep grayish purple pink and not deep brownish purple pink.

One of my favorite colors.
 
Agree that the colour is pretty, but it may run quite dark. I guess it depends on how it looks to your eyes, in person, in various lights.
 
I love the color, but it is dark.
