What color E-I is your e-ring?

[nikki2229]

Mine is a D. My side stones are a lesser color (G-H) and I can see a visible difference between the both. If I ever upgraded, I would want a lower color and bigger stone. Current is 1.21 center stone.

lorihmatthews - beautiful ring! Is it emerald cut?

Thank you!

Both the e-ring and band have princess cut diamonds.

mine is an icy F and i love it ... it was important to me (and my boy) to have as white a diamond as possible with a very good cut ... i mean, if love excellent cut but the $$ were too much for us. i luuuurve it and cant wait to get my wedding band ...

lori - i love your ring ... we're princess twins (although mine is a baby at only a little over a carat!)

I'm not expert when it comes to diamonds, but i do know the basic s. Mine's 1.1 E color, VVS1, round cut. The sides are lightly lower grades, but not sure the grade of them.
I think if they are not yellow to the naked eye, then it's fine. As long as you're happy with the quality and size, then that's all it matters.

This is absolutely true. When DH and I were shopping for rings, we first said we didn't want anything lower on the scale than an I color. But when we found my e-ring stone we were surprised to see it was a J color. We didn't feel like we were compromising on look at all.

Of course you can see the difference when you put it next to something like a D color, but for everyday wear, it does not look yellow.

I have an I color and I'm completely satisfied w/ it.
If I didn't have this one now - since I won't upgrade it, and I had an I colored 1.25, to upgrade I'd personally go bigger in size, stay w/ that color and look for an ideal cut.

I have an E, my mom's is a D and unless it is the "perfect" light, you cannot tell a difference. Our jeweler was absolutely amazing in finding both stones.

My engagement ring is a 2.2ct D VS1 ideal cut..my eternity band is a very old family ring, even though the diamonds are white, the color difference is obvious because the solitaire sparkles a lot compared to the small diamonds...If you go for a I color than pick an excellent cut.

My ring is a 3/4 carat, round-brilliant stone, I color. I LOVE IT! Its still white, but not icy. Its slightly warm looking and I love it!

When we were getting my ring, I remember the jeweller saying that while all the Cs are important, CUT IS KING!!!!

A well-cut I stone can look GREAT!

My ring has a center stone that is G in color and the surrounding stones are G-H in color. Although the photo doesn't do it justice, it looks really white to the naked eye and is always super sparkly due to the radiant and cushion cutting. I LOVE it sooo much!!

 

[sinniebunnie]

G color. I would not go any lower than H

Bump!

I have a 1.22 I Princess set in white gold. You can see a bit of warmth depending on the lighting it's in but it is VERY sparkly which I love. I prefer the warmth to the icy white diamonds though.

ChiChi143 - is it pictured in reference section?

^ I have it posted in the Engagement Ring threads. Of course it looks so much prettier IRL as I can't get a good pic. of it.
