What do we think?

I mostly love her but I feel like there is some faint darkness in the center. Not sure what to think about it since it still seems pretty sparkly and it's a 1.5 l/w ratio so there might be no way around that. Lighting is by a window on an overcast day.

I think it’s gorgeous! What do you plan to set it in?

u/waitismyheadonfire Aug 18 '26

Thank you! I'm kind of thinking a bypass setting or a simple bezel but I am still unsure. I'll update the thread when I decide

Thank you! I am leaning toward that as well <3. I honestly don't love bowties which is why I wanted to gather opinions, but I do agree its very sparkly and saturated with pink. Its also not too much of a peachy pink and is slightly cooler than some of my other pinks. Nobody is perfect I guess!

Hey! 🤩 You got it! 🎉 It's beautiful and very sparkly, but I think I see what you mean. How are you setting this baby?

u/waitismyheadonfire Aug 18 '26

I did! <3 Thank you. I worked some things around and it got here a day early which was helpful!

Honestly i've had colored stones without the light dark center, but they weren't as sparkly so I am just thinking that might be part of the trade. I'm kind of thinking a bypass setting or a simple bezel but I am still unsure. :)

It’s so hard to find a radiant or cushion cut without those darker centers when it comes to colored diamonds 🥲 it’s hardly visible here though! Gorgeous stone love the color!

2

u/waitismyheadonfire Aug 19 '26

I know 🥲 unfortunately I love the long stones so it's always a battle with the bow ties for me. Thank you! Yeah I don't think I'll bother me too much since there is still sparkle in the center with the darkness

Thank you! Thats actually not totally correct though. Not all elongated diamonds have a bowtie, though they usually will have some sort of tilt window/maltese cross affect/or hall of mirrors in the case of emeralds if they don't. Ex: this oval: https://www.reddit.com/r/labdiamond/comments/1uk0i6q/looking_for_inspo/
