I'm now up to 12 fancy colored diamonds. My latest addition is a fancy intense yellow round. Below are my rounds and my entire collection. Excuse the fuzz :) Did anyone else get a new FCD for the holiday season?

Lucky you!!! :appl: :appl: :appl: :appl: :wavey: :wavey: :wavey:
 
Holy cow- Lucky you, susie!!! you gotta get those babies over to Kenny's place so he can 'purdy them up' for the camera!!! I could just imagine how amazing his pics would be of your stones - LOVE that collection!

Hard to pick a favourite... but... if I *must*... the marquis (es??) would all be my favourites!! Any with fluoro??? :naughty:
 
Congrats on your FCD!!! Do you have any setting plans for them?
 
What a beautiful sparkly sight! My fave is the gray one, love that, though it's hard to pick just one!

Absolutely beautiful collection! That pear looks delicious ;-)
 
Thank you all for the compliments. I'm sure Kenny could do a much better job of showing off their colors. I plan to make a pendant with some of them and probably a three stone ring out of the marquises.

The gray has strong fluorescense. It looks violet in the sunlight. The orange round has slight fluorescense. The deep purplish pink oval has very slight fluorescense. All the others have none.

Happy Holidays!

Beautiful rounds, gorgeous collection :love: Enjoy them!! Tell me more about that pink/purple oval at the bottom :love: :love: :love:

And since you asked :Up_to_something: I just got in two FCD's myself. Both of the pics are vendor pics, I'll post a thread with mine after the holidays.

I'm really digging ovals, pears and rounds right now. Mostly due to their great spread. The (not so flattering) pic above of the oval has an orange tint to it I just don't see irl.

Susie: the colors and sizes of your stones are stunning. I love that they are close in a size and look like a family. They are beautiful!
 
Beautiful FCDs that will make outstanding jewellery.
 
Lovely collection, susie! :love:

I haven't purchased a new FCD in some time now - I got a lovely notification of Leibish's sale, so have been having a look around. Found something nice, but not sure it's THAT nice, IYKWIM. I'd rather wait for the right stone at full price than buy the wrong one for 15% off. :lol:
 
AN0NYM0US- The oval is fancy deep purplish pink. It's a tiny stone at 3.4x2.8mm, but the color really makes it stand out. I'm envious of your new stones. They are both gorgeous.

Justginger- I absolutely agree with you. It doesn't matter the price, if you don't love it, then it's not a bargain.

Thank you all for the kind words.

Ohhhhhh a 3 stone ring with the marquises???? That would be gorgeous! Maybe with the center bezeled and the sides prong set/!?! Ok Sorry my mind is running on that idea! I just love it. I can't wait for you to start that project- it will be gorgeous!
 
Very pretty
