Wow, that’s really red, which I didn’t know was even possible.

One time in an upscale jewelry store I saw a set of 4 matching men’s gold rings with colored diamonds in them - white, blue, green, and yellow. That set was the only jewelry item I’ve ever wanted in my whole life.

I wonder if they got that gem from the D & D player’s handbook (from the head of the demonic idol).
Inside joke alert...

It is a gorgeous stone, but emerald cut is just about my least favorite. I realize that the master cutter has to study the stone and do what will come out best though.

Have you seen champagne diamonds? They are the color of creme soda. My friend has them in her wedding ring, the most beautiful ring I’ve ever seen. I’m content with a soda can ring, but her’s I could covet! Really, really beautiful!

I gave up trying to find an example picture of the kind of rings I saw - 99.99% of what I found via Google looks like it was designed for the pimp/gangsta crowd.
The salesman at the store called these colored diamonds "fancies", and were not man-made.

Nice. My favorite is still the Hope Diamond, but I’ve got a thing for ancient curses. ;’)

I don’t like diamonds. They’re too much money in too tiny a place and coveted by too many people.

“emerald cut is just about my least favorite”
I love them, I’m just into squares!
But, sadly I don’t have one, even my emerald ring (which beloved daughty got me) is oval.

I’m not greedy, I’ll be happy with just one of them, please.
To: jocon307
See my post 10. The emerald cut is really a rectangle, but I just love the princess - it’s close to a square, but inside it just sparkles.

...and you pinged me because....?
I give you hope?
You have a diamond to give me?
I am considered an ancient curse? In which case you have a pingthing for me?
To: Dumpster Baby
Your screen name is hilarious considering your interest in diamonds!
I had no idea they came in so many colors, and because these things are out of my league, the cuttings are very interesting.
Thank you for the post!
