The Pumpkin Orange Diamond That Destroyed My Inner Peace

0.27 ct GIA certified Natural Color Fancy Vivid Yellowish Orange SI1 diamond mounted in 18kt white gold accented by 0.14 ctw of white diamonds halo and side stones.

It looks like a pumpkin orange 🎃 the rarest shade of orange in diamonds...

But it fluoresce a 'strong yellow' giving it a pastel or golden cast. For a vivid yellowish orange diamonds ideally should be none fluorescent coz a yellow fluorescence will make it look like more yellow instead of orange. Even an orange fluorescence when it is too strong can make a vivid orange diamond look deep orange which is not as rare or valuable as intense or vivid orange diamond.

I can really see the strong yellow fluorescence impacting the look of the diamond...

It didn't make the diamond less beautiful but or made it look less ideal to me coz it looks like a fancy vivid yellow orange or a fancy deep yellowish orange...

And I only desire or want it to look like a fancy vivid yellowish orange or fancy vivid orange. Unless it is priced like the way it looks to me like a fancy vivid yellow orange or fancy deep yellowish orange and not priced on how it is on the GIA grading report.
On this GIA grading report the orange diamond sounds very attractive but diamonds are better judge in person not only in certs...


I like it but I'm not sure I like it more than two of the fancy vivid yellow orange diamonds I would like to buy and those two vivid yellow orange actually look more orange in some of their photos and videos. 

The orange diamond ring costs a thousand dollars more than the two former fancy vivid yellow orange diamonds that I am ready to finalized the payments but this orange diamond though smaller has a better grade certification wise and better clarity. At least I have 3 choices now! And the best part about this orange diamond ring is it is already set on jewelry though a female ring but with my creativity I can design and add more metals to it to make it look unisex & still in the design theme of the 'Rising Phoenix'. 🔥

Whether I'd buy this or not somehow I'd think I wouldn't even care but everytime I see it I feel I want it...


UPDATE: July 24, 2017
The diamond is truly transparent and limpid the 'strong yellow' fluorescence does not impact the beauty of the orange diamond negatively. In fact it looks like a pure vivid orange to golden orange in all lighting conditions.

November Traditional Birthstone: Imperial Topaz

Image
T opaz is the traditional birthstone for November & it is one of the most popular gem varieties. Although topaz comes in all the colors of the rainbow from one of my personal favorite the very affordable blue topaz which is considered a semi-precious stone  to the very rare imperial topaz varieties considered as precious stones that comes in many different shades of colors except blue & topaz are durable enough to be worn on rings with a hardness of 8 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness. However only a yellow to golden yellow to orange varieties are known as the true birthstone for November. The jewelty industry recently added semi-precious stone Citrine as part of the November birthstone but it has no magical powers to November babies. Topaz comes in many different parts of the world but the finest imperial topaz tends to be exclusively found in fewer places like Russia & Brazil. Alot people confused topaz with citrine and they do have an uncanny similarity e

Practical Materialism💸

Am I Materialistic? That's a wonderful question ladies & gentlemen! Despite my recent aquisition of this extremely rare vivid orange diamond from Leibish & Co. I don't think I am materialistic  because materialistic people only care the most about expensive things and buying them for the sake of their image. Like people who buys a overpriced luxury leather goods or branded items like Havaiinas rubber flip flops over regular rubber flip flops or iPhones versus regular smartphones which work pretty much desame and you still can't fuck both, or people who only takes care of imported expensive breed of dogs or cats and totally avoid regular ordinary pets or those who only wear branded clothes and underwear like Victoria's Secret lingeries which people would never see anyway. These idiots are the real materialistic because they are concerned of their image! They buy unecessary things or spend their money to feed their bruised & fake egos and then show them

Lost Ancient Philippine Goldsmith Technique

Image
Last June  I blogged  about the lost ancient goldsmithing technique of ancient filipinos that no modern jewelers could replicate that are being displayed at The Bangko Sentral Ng Pilipinas Museum and Ayala Museum in Makati.  Today there is a revival of that lost jewelry making technique but no matter how hard modern jewelers tried to replicate the old ways of jewelry making they cannot copy an exact replica coz they've been missing something that we no longer have in modern times and I have this feeling that the ancient filipino goldsmiths are using ancient alien technology to make elaborate jewelries.  The granulation technique of the ancient filipino jewelries is the best in the history of mankind! Even better than the Etruscans. The tiny well rounded symmetrical granules must have been made by some laser and anti gravity thingy of some sort of  lost ancient alien technology. The fact that the ancient designs could not be totally copied by even he best of modern
