Hi Bonnie! I’ve been enjoying your videos. For me, the takeaways here are to get as educated as possible not just about diamonds but also about my own preferences. AND knowing where my knowledge ends and when to ask for help from a professional like you! I have purchased many online diamonds and other jewelry and learned so much. I’ve also recently fallen IN LOVE with brown-tinged white diamonds. I just bought an OEC GIA Y-Z I1 recently and -yes it sounds like junk -and yet it’s truly mesmerizing! I bought it from one of my favorite brick and mortar jewelers. I literally am spellbound by it. I adore super white diamonds and now it looks like I love brown-tinged white diamonds too! Who knew? Anyway as you say there is nothing wrong necessarily with a brown tinge as long as it’s disclosed and desired. Your point about the setting is key-the halo would have enhanced the brown tinge! we can all have different preferences overall and each day. I only like to wear one big bling at a time on my hands so I rotate my 5 ct emerald cut (let’s just say it’s a “winter white”), and my original OEC 1.2 ct J, and sometimes I wear the “champagne” OEC some days. I adore them all…I just love diamonds. Oh and I just finished my first GIA course Diamond Essentials…! Thanks again, keep them coming. -Jenny

@lmjewel8641 Жыл бұрын

My guess is Rare Carat or James Allen. I’ve spoken to online gemologists and they are not helpful. Luckily, I was able to connect with a jeweler/manufacture in Chicago. She was amazing. She sent me videos (in natural and studio lighting) of the stones and asked me about ratio, etc. Having someone to educate you on lifetime purchase is so valuable and worth it.

I know it will be different for every ring but I’d really like to give my boyfriend the best estimate possible! No worries if you can’t say, just thought I’d ask

Hi Bonnie. Could you share on fluorescence in diamonds? My stone is VVS1 and blue SFL. I’m not sure what SFL means.

@ByBonnieJewelry Жыл бұрын

Hi dear! Sure. I would love to. Fluorescence is actually a natural phenomenon in natural diamonds. Around 35% of all earth natural diamonds have it. "Blue SFL" means Strong Blue Fluorescence. Now depending on the color of your diamond, typically Fluorescence can be desirable in nearcolorless or lower color range (as long as it doesn't make the stone milky). This is where curation comes into play! I have seen D-E color with medium blue fluorescence that sparkles AMAZING, or L color that has strong blue but milky. Want to know interesting thing? Fluorescence is one of the tools I use to separate natural and lab grown as well! In the end, having a professional check the diamond to see if the fluorescence affect the diamond is important. In most cases, fluorescence does not negatively affect the diamond and could give people big savings. I hope this helps 🎉❤

@ByBonnieJewelry Жыл бұрын

Thanks dear! I am glad you liked the ring. Every natural diamond is unique in their own way. I felt like as long as they had disclosed this to her, it would've been fine. Make it transparent, allowing her to come to her own conclusion whether she is ok with buying a near colorless diamond with brown or not. Well, she didn't know and they didn't tell her (imagine sending someone this much $ and be stuck after 10 days). 😅 Thanks for watching ❤

Neah, BN never crossed my mind as I and my family have had great experience with them, plus Bonnie said "middle man" not a retailer. My future son in law bought my daughter's ring from BN but went to one of their show rooms and sat with the gemologist but did a LOT of research for a year before ring shopping. He watched GIA webinars posted on youtube and read pretty much everything on their website so he was ready. He said he felt very comfortable with the gemologist and never questioned his knowledge. When I saw the ring after he proposed, it was stunning. Also a round diamond in a halo setting, not as big as the one in this video but just as beautiful.
