Show me your I!

[gemdandy]

I'm considering a stone with a color grade of "I". I'm not yet sure how color sensitive I am. May I see your I, please?

although the best way would be to look at them in person

Gemdandy, my diamond is an I and I was going to post some upload some pics of it tonight anyway, so I will post some here for you to see. It is being set right now by Brian Gavin, but I have some that I shot of it as a loose stone before I took it to him. I found that I was far more clarity-sensitive than color sensitive and when I met with Brian he showed me some smaller D and E colored stones against the I's for comparison and it just wasn't worth it to me. I could see a slight difference under his florescent lights, but it didn't bother me that much! I agree you have to see it in person for yourself, though.

Here is the 1.284 I SI1 ACA from WF that I got my fiance. More pictures are on the post listed. The first page has the WF glamour shots and the second pages has some shots I took of it. I (more importantly, she) loves it!

Best way is definitely to see them in person. But since you asked for pics my previous ring had an I centrestone and H sides - I can't for the life of me find the thread, but here are a few pics I have saved

2ct I centrestone (in plat), 0.33 H sides, stud (in plated wg) is a 0.43 J (those studs are my current sidestones)

My center stone is an I surrounded by Gs

As promised earlier, here is my I. It's actually certed as an H, but I think it's a bit warm and my GG friend and another appraiser and BGD all think it's an I, but I was looking for an I anyway, so I don't care. Plus, look at it!! It's white! The only place I see a tint is under really yellow lighting, but honestly, what looks good in that lighting anyway?

Hope this helps!

I was also uncertain about an "I" color, and the posts on here helped me so much. I absolutely love, love this stone's color. But I'm not that color sensitive. When my DIL saw my stone, she couldn't believe that it was "I" color. Her diamond is a G and I think mine looks whiter. Anyhow, hope this helps:

Here's some pics of my Eightstar 1.57 ct I-VVS1.

I really think with a halo or 3-stone an I is beyond acceptable. Most of the warmth is visible only at certain angles if at all.

One of the many things you learn to appreciate from pricescope! I would have gotten a H/ eye clean SI1 vs. my F/VS2....definitely could've gotten more carat weight!! Darn I get a little sad every time I think about it...so please take that as a lesson learned on my part!

Thanks everyone! All of your stones have beautiful color!

my I stone versus F wedding band. i like the contrast and IRL it's not noticeable most of the time.
