I like the color. Is the seller reputable?

 

[cellentani]

Honestly? It looks lopsided. Sorry. What would you do with it?

Ditto, but not terribly so. I hate how they positioned it sideways to make it less obvious - seems shady. Seller has good feedback though.

I like the color..unique

I have purchased from him before. Very nice man and the diamond was nicer than I thought it would be. But that particular one looks a bit 'wonky'..

Cutting is a bit off. But I love the color.

 

[D&T]

color is pretty and unique. he has a 30 days return policy. doesn''t look like a bad price. Can''t hurt to check it out? if you like it. go for it! it might be a diamond in the rough

and get it all checked out with an appraiser if need be?

Did you buy a colored diamond from him?

Not colored. It was a 8 point diamond. I don''t have it any more, traded in for another diamond that was already present in a setting.

He''s a very popular ebay resale diamond seller and I know some PS''ers that purchase from him on a regular basis. As for that being orange, I''m not so sure. It looks more like a yellow champagne.

 

[beaujolais]

Oooo, TL, you are right. I guess *orange* sounds better than yellow champagne.

I still sort of like it but probably won''t. It''s not a "must have" for me but it''s kind of interesting.

Thanks, all.

Umm…yes, it’s not a colour I think of when someone says it is an orange stone.

And let''s not forget tha orange sounds (and always is) more expensive than brown, yellow, champagne, cognac...

That stone is a lot of things, but it''s not orange unless it looks very different than in the photo. Not that it''s not nice and that it can''t make a nice piece of jewellery, but make sure it''s exactly what you''d like.
