1.27 G or 1.42 I Tiffany E-ring Help!

[HermesHabit]

Go with the I. I have a 1.35c I and I love it.

Thank you

I would get the G. I can see the yellow in the diamond when compared to your eternity and to me, that is not a good look.

A G color is the perfect price point for a white stone.

Also, what about an H? It’s still in the white range and better price point. An I color is a no for me.

Just my two cents.

Wow really you can? I guess I just don’t have a good eye for colour then because I don’t notice any difference against my eternity. Can anyone else see this from the pics - please chime in if so?

It’s really difficult, especially when I look back at pictures - here’s one I took of the I against a smaller H and to me the I looks whiter - but it might just have been the way the light was catching it. (Bottom ring is the I)

The color is noticeable in the I, especially when placed next to the G, but you should buy the ring that you love!

I am like you, I don't see it!

Which one gave you more of a thrill wearing it? Sometimes it's better to go with your gut and what "sparks joy." They both are going to look white and beautiful to anyone looking at your finger. I have not once been able to guess a friends diamond color!

I think the big one has more wow factor on your finger!

Sounds to me that you are leaning towards the I. Get what you want. Don’t worry about specs too much. No one is going to ask you what colour your diamond is.

I have an H and when I first bought it, I did not see the color. I thought it was so sparkly. Now I see the color and wish I had gotten the G. Once your eyes get more trained, and it will... once you see the faint hint of yellow...you cannot unsee it.

This is especially true if you wear it with another band that has higher color stones like your eternity. I have earrings too and I see the color difference compared to my earrings. Is it horrible? No. Does it bug me and make me sensitive to other diamond jewelry I buy? Yes.

Also, aside from what you see... mentally, would an I bother you? For some folks, they would never consider an I stone, so it’s also about what you are comfortable with what would make you proud. Go with what makes you proud to own it. If you feel you need to explain why you choose it to defend it, then I would think twice. And some people that are close to you will ask for specs, it’s just human nature.

For me, it’s more about color quality. I think one other poster also said I color resell is lower and I would agree... maybe you will never sell it, but the fact it’s not as much desired is a thought to consider too.

Maybe ask for an H... it would be a good compromise. To me, an H stone is on the edge of faint yellow, an I stone clearly will show faint yellow (see GIA definitions).

Good luck! And congratulations!

If you can’t see the yellow in I, go with the I. I personally do not believe in paying more for what you can’t see. Here is my I next to my G wedding band. Love them.

Actually K is the first color to be considered faint yellow. G - J is near colorless.

Hi... I am only talking about the Near Colorless G-J range which is her color grouping. K is far down the color grade and not a grade Tiffany offers. Of the G-J range, it is grouped typically as G-H and then I-J where G-H is more toward colorless and I-J goes toward faint yellow. You will also see articles once you go to I-J, you can definitely see faint color... the question is if it bothers you. I think someone here posted a very large M color diamond (not Tiffany), so for some, size is the number one priority.

Here is a good writeup by a vendor who goes through the specifics of G-H and I-J in case you might be interested.

Sorry these are all so huge. This is the Vatche U 113 with a Whiteflash ACA. It's a LOW color, but the cut makes it seem so white, at least to me! So if the I Tiffany has a 2 or lower on the HCA I would for sure go with that. I literally never notice any color in my diamond.

Wow. I am usually color sensitive but your stone looks really white. What is the color, if you don't mind me asking...

 

[HermesHabit]

Thanks for all the advice. I have started to rethink the I colour now and I went back to look at an H in the same carat size as the G. I just need to decide between the H and the G now ... tough decisions

Is there a big price differential in the two stones?

 

[dottiebbb]

Based on the pictures and what you wrote, I vote the bigger one!

 

[Guuci4Me]

That I faces up very white. A lot of round brilliants will. Google HCA calculator and put the stats in there. I personally would get the I.

 

[CozyCorner]

I always go with quality over size. I would all day long pick the G. Believe me it will be more sparkly, even if you think you can't tell. Bottom line - it is a better diamond.

Totally agree with this - keep us posted on your choice. I don't think you can go wrong here. They're both Tiffany rings, backed by the history and power of the Tiffany name. They will handle repairs or resetting down the road, and you'll have a lovely ring either way.

In everyday life, out and about, taking the train, going shopping, going out, I have never noticed anybody's diamond ring color other than if it's yellow (not in a good way) and Tiffany is not going to sell you that type of diamond. The overall effect also depends on the metal used for the setting. In the shot with both rings, overlooking any size difference, the stones have a different look, but it's not one that I can attribute to color, maybe more to subtle aspects of the cut.

Can't wait to hear what you choose! And best wishes.
