Comment: As promised, with more experience we are moving up the ladder of colored diamonds, leaving white diamonds for halos or the mundane. Here we are closing in on a full carat, ideal-cut, fancy intense orange with a dash of yellow. Always with naturally untreated colors, no irradiation, no surface coloring, laser drilling, heat or any of the other usual suspects of gemstone treatment. Diamond grading is more standardized than any other variety, the white ones are a kindergarten exercise, one need not look much further than the report plus the giant data-bases online with prices standardized down to the small digits. For the much rarer colored specimens we must, and always will have to, take greater care in their evaluation, but still the report, our images, and a few comments will get you much further than evaluating, say, an alexandrite or star ruby. This currently best-of-class in our inventory, hides one (1) inclusion under the lens ('eye-clean' in the colored gem-world) and rates 'very-good' in all other criteria. That translates to top-10% quality in colored diamonds, where the last 10% drive cost enormously. Ideal cut, full luster, rich hue, never dull, never dark, no window of course, and near 6mm round. A serious diamond with nothing to gripe about. As always our gems come with all paper-work, free shipping, original report, a 1000sqm of rainforest preserved at WLT, support for the NHRP, and other WildFish perks.
BTW, fluorescence in diamonds, as in rubies, gives them the potential to blaze-up in sunlight. Again, diamond-reports make life easier. One could wish rubies would get a new line with 'fluorescence' in their GRS or AGL reports. Just an idea.
