ACTUAL MOVIE of this beautiful princess cut diamond ring

 

 

 

The Diamond
Here's how this story unfolds- it starts with the unfolding of a piece of paper, about 8 months ago.......

This is part of the label. I understood that "2.25 PRI" meant a 2.25carat princess cut diamond.

Now, if it had said "FLY", I would naturally assume it was a Fancy Light Yellow.

By that same assumption FLP could only mean one thing- Fancy Light....PINK????

I've never seen a Fancy Light Pink Princess Cut over 2carats.

Over the 30 plus years, and probably hundreds of thousands of stones, I have not seen all that many Fancy Light Pink anything., much less a 2 carat plus Princess Cut

Fancy Light Pink is quite pink.

Naturally, I quickly opened the paper.

I could tell right away, this was not pink enough to be called a Fancy Light.

I could also tell that it looked like a well cut princess cut........ and there was definitely something pink there....

The next thing that happened was that I fell in love with it.

It's a great cut for FLASH- incredible sparkle- great size. The cut is spectacular.

The SI2 imperfections are in spots that make them very hard to see with a loupe- a very very good SI2.

 

HOW DO WE FIND SUCH DIAMONDS?

The first time I was shown this ( and the other 100+ Diamonds) was just to get my reaction .....I looked at everything as much as I wanted, but nothing was available to buy just yet- they were figuring out how much the diamonds were worth. This cutter mainly deals with Colorless, and near colorless. This was a very unique situation.

About 5 months passed till I was again shown these stones- this time the diamonds were available, and marked with prices.

I gasped upon learning that we'd have to offer the 2.25ct Faint Pink Princess for about $80,000.

I also declined to buy it.

We did buy a bunch of the other diamonds, at that time- but not this one.

I let about 5 months pass till I broached the subject again. This time, we got extremely lucky- he agreed to very near the price I had in mind. We're talking almost 50% less. Normally, he would never agree to that kind of discount off his asking price. Normally I never need to offer less- because that's how sharp his prices on colorless diamonds are.

So there you have it.

Pink diamonds are so incredibly rare, it would be hard to find another.

It's so difficult to capture the color exactly with this particular diamond. I honestly feel that in these photos the camera captures more pink than I see in person.
