We were sitting in his office and the appraiser had some time so helpfully explained and showed up how he came to that determination. I was shocked and surprised but it all made sense. I really couldn't see the colour when it was set and I'd happily buy and own a K. I have earrings which are L and M and I can see the colour in them. It doesn't bother me at all, but compared to my mother's K they are noticeably more coloured. K is still very white to my eyes.
I have a K. Its not that i can't tell the difference between it and a G, or an I, because of course i can. But to call it yellow would be inaccurate, in my mind.
Ive said it a million times I'm sure, but it often comes off as a soft bone color. Not stark white, but still essentially neutral when it comes to color.
It changes in many different lighting situations, as i know all diamonds do, but the changes are interesting. Making the stone almost moody.
Totally agree. I have a K color asscher. Granted, it isn't large (1 carat), so it won't show color like a 3 carat stone. But I swear there is no yellow in the stone! Like you, I would never think it is perfectly white. When it does show color, to my eyes, it comes off as darker highlights of the step facets in certain lights.
I have a hard time with color though. I think I'm pretty sensitive to yellow in a stone, but not as much to creamier shades. And I actually prefer a stone have a creamy coloring than to be white.
