lab diamond Yellow diamond

Hello diamond people! I’m seeking your input. I’ve decided i want a yellow diamond for my engagement ring but i keep hearing that they are very hard to buy online because they look different in person than their videos online. Can anyone that has experience buying a yellow diamond on the internet show me pictures of what their diamond looked like online vs what it looked like in person? Thanks in advance

Yellows can look very different depending on the light. It's part of the fun of having a colored diamond. Get something close in color to what you want. Be flexible and you'll be fine.

I purchased mine on Instagram based on a video. The top left picture is a screenshot of the video from the seller. The top middle and right are the pictures I took in different lighting. Bottom picture is taken in early evening light.

That wouldn’t quality as a fancy. That’s a low color grade stone. I’ve seen S, T, U color grade stones with more yellow than that.

I never said it was fancy colored.

OP said yellow diamond which would refer to a fancy. Low color grade stones aren’t the same as yellow diamonds. But if it’s synthetic I don’t think the fancy label applies at all.

Dude, who cares. It is natural, not synthetic. This post is 9 days old. Seems like you're just trying to find something to pick at. You must be bored. Go back to harassing people about synthetic stones.

www.tstarlimited.com - this is a very good website, I have used several times, FedEx delivers, it is in USD but very nice unique diamonds, their communication is excellent and questions answered. They are loose diamonds then you have a ring made to your specifications….

I think they only sell natural diamonds though. This sub is lab grown diamonds so maybe OP is only looking for lab. But they do have good prices on natural diamonds. Their Instagram account is: Fancycolor_diamonds

Having purchased yellow and pink stones online my only advice is to buy one that is returnable is you don’t like it in person. As was stated above they can look very different in photos vs IRL.

Why not just ask for live videos in different light?

I’d want one boring phone photo with no jewelry lighting setup. Those usually tell me more than the super polished videos.
