Then yesterday I received it back from Poppyseed. I had it removed from my Gabbie setting, where I just felt like it was lost in the setting, despite it being so large, and put into a Tiffany 6 prong repro. I snapped a few pics of it while also wearing a Berricle shared prong eternity with 3 mm stones. WOW. In nearly all the pics, it is noticeable the the Asha has an ever so slight color difference. This makes me happy, because I LOVE warmer stones but could only get the OMC in an Asha. It's a bit too white for me still, but was very nice to see that there is in fact a difference between totally colorless and the F (?) color of my Asha.

Anyone else ever noticed this? Normally I see lots of posts about how steely and higher color the Ashas are, but lately I've seen a couple where the Asha had some warmth. I think mine is both!

I understand you're saying it shows warmth in pics, but what about in real life?

You know, my eyesight is really bad these days (though they keep saying I don't really *need* glasses). So, I've been sitting here examining it without the aid of a pic, and I definitely see a *difference*, but it doesn't appear quite the way it does in the pics. I don't know that I'd ever use the word "warmth" when describing it with plain eyes, but the color is for sure lower than the crystal clear of my Berricle band. I definitely recognize true warmth, as I had a M/N/O OEC diamond that was for sure buttery/ivory/creamy depending on the lighting.

I'll have to get them off the camera to show them. I did take sets in low light, outdoors, and under my LED and incandescent lights for the photos, some with there being no walls or anything to reflect back a color, and it was noticeable to me in all of those. Maybe I will try photo shoots with a couple different cameras to see if it appears the same with all of them and make sure it wasn't the camera. Now I'm really curious, when before I was just happy thinking oooohhh, lookie! a bit of "warmth"!

I also just got my nails done so my hands won't look so awful in a pic. I shall return!
