wink, the RG interlap (which I love) is also whiter then my GIA certified G color diamond with H&A proportions, ex polish ex symmetry. Do you think GIA would overgrade?

Sorry just a quick hi-jack..




Not very often, but it happens. Were the stones of similar size also?

I don't actually color grade them when they come in, so it is very possible that there is some variation in the colors that arrive here from Interlap. I know that this often happens when we order stones for earrings, we specifically request that the colors match and Interlap ALWAYS comes through for us.

No, the diamond is a 1.5ct and the interlap is a 2ct. Well, doesn't matter.. I love both anyways! I was just curious.
Thank you!

I have a three-stone pendant that Wink ordered from Stuller for me and set with three RGs. They are a dead ringer for my H/VS2 diamond...

No, I'd say the colors definitely vary. I ordered some rectangular cushions in the lightest yellow and (8x6 the largest) and they were perfect. Nicely warm, faced up very light..wouldn't say white but white enough to wear with diamond eternity band (g diamonds)
These supposedly show more color because of the cut too.
Ordered a round (8.5mm I think) lightest yellow a couple months later....totally yellow. side, top, all angles.
I was SOOOOO hoping for the same color I got on the cushions.
Oh well, I am truly thankful for these cushions being the perfect color....I adore this ring and it is the most realistic sim ring I have to date.

Also, ordered a chinese white awhile back and could see no color at all in it. Compared it in all ways (upside down, etc,etc) to a clear one I have...no difference. I know others could see more difference in theirs so I'm sure there is a variation in these types of colors.

Jewelle,

I suspect you are totally correct. I know I see it often in the light yellows. Interlap cuts literally TONS of cz's per year and there is no way they can color grade them on an individual stone basis.

They know the rough range of colors for a given rough, but some will be higher and some will be lower on an individual basis.

Wink
