(I posted this exact post in "Rockytalky" because the date of the last entry there looks more recent but I'm not sure where this should go really? Re-posting here again )

So, I took the plunge to buy my first fancy coloured diamonds, a very small fancy pink-purple cushion and an even smaller fancy grey-blue pear. They are very sparkly but I'm feeling unsure about the colours. While I like the purple diamond, I'm admittedly disappointed by how the blue diamond looked more grey usually. (but of cos, pure blues are expensive and I don't think they are in my league!!!). In fact I'm still considering whether to send this blue diamond back. What do you guys think?

Anyway, today, a glorious sunset came and I got these photos:
The two "blue" shots that got my heart skipping a beat. The purple diamond was quite poorly-positioned ie not face up so it looked washed-out here. The diamonds were also very sparkly but it was hard to capture on camera ...



The sun rays weakened and the blue diamond began to look slightly moody grey again. I set it on an orange button of a remote controller to try to mimic a warm yellow/rose gold backing. So is it an "on" or "off" stone for you?



Back to moody grey.



Sorry if these aren't very clear photos (taken with a phone only and the macro shots aren't great either) because I was in a hurry to make the best out of the transient sunset rays. Thanks for looking!

i like the greyish blue. it is soft and matches well with the pink-purplish one.

I have a few newer additions I still have to photograph. I just got into FCS's about a year ago. I love all diamond colors except black. It just never did anything for me.

Thank you so much Victoria10, junebug17 and KaeKae! The second I saw it on Grace's site, I had to have it!
I never appreciated marquis cuts until I saw it set east-west in that bezel setting! I had always been intrigued by yellow diamonds too but never knew what I wanted. This ring is the perfect mix of whimsy and glamour to me!

hey diamondboy, love the blush colored diamond halo and the champaign diamond. You have a beautiful collection. I'm with you with all diamond colors; however, not to keen on the black diamond. I love all diamond shapes and metal colors for that matter though depending on settings.

Thank you so much, Junbug! I love the pear shaped ring in your avatar as well.

I had completely forgot about this ring.. Although it has a pretty large inclusion in the middle which is very obvious.. And she's very little, the color is still insane. My little green monster!
