My 1.27ct K-SI2 Crafted By Infinity. Side diamond melee is F-VS, and the band is T&Co. (and in need of a good cleaning!). In the winter I wear it in an old fashioned insert guard ring.

1.98 ct K, SI1. Inherited this transitional cut from the best grandmother in the world! Set in platinum with two H, VS baguettes. The warmth doesn’t bother me at all. In fact, I think the warmth is what contributes to the depth of color in the fiery flashes.
I was just starting my diamond journey. I had purchased a .80ct J color MRB and was contemplating an upgrade to a 1.17ct K... and I was so worried about tint! OMG I worried about it so much.
I loved that K color stone, but eventually the cultural ideals about color got to me and I traded it in for a 1.20c G SI2. It was not eye clean to my comfort level -- or big enough! -- and I eventually upgraded to a 1.67ct I/J MRB. When diamond prices spiked in 2011 I sold that puppy and that's when I got into old cuts and ebay sleuthing...
I probably owned two dozen or old cuts over the following few years, ranging in size from .30ct to 2.3ct. And none of them had lab reports! Let me tell you, your perceptions of diamonds are wildly different when you don't have a lab report and thus don't *know* the color of the stone. You learn to just appreciate it for how it looks to your eyes. That experience made me so much less invested in diamond color. Now I literally couldn't care less!
My precious 1.89ct Early Ideal cut is in the K-L color range.
She is presently being set into a three stone with a pair of .30ct KL MRBs. I love the color of these diamonds and their performance.

I love the “K”! I now have 2 new K stones, one CBI, in a 3 stone with 2 G baguettes, and 1 unbranded FIC from the internet nestled in a cluster of bright white E color Tiffany IC diamonds you can really see the tint in the unbranded diamond but not in the CBI of course...

Here is my L 2.61 VVS Pear. I wasn’t going for a white racing stone, I really like warmth in some cuts. The blue of the top photo pops the color a lot, those two photos were taken moments apart. Only different thing between the two is what the ring was sitting on.
2.09 GIA XXX S12 K with Strong Blue Flor. I would have never considered a K stone until I saw this one in person! Eye clean - not the best pic. Setting is by C. Gonshor. 3.78 ct.
Quick snap of my ACA 2.9 K VS2. The size makes me feel like a queen! I prefer the cool look and the off white face of my watch makes my stone look whiter.
