I think that I only ever saw it in the ring gallery.  The marquise I remember when it was for sale.  I think that they are both really unique.

fancy gray diamonds should have a little of blue tint...  i think they sparkle as well as any other well cut colored diamonds...

Hi Everybody!

Diamonds graded "Grey" by GIA are quite rare.

BUT- of those I've seen, most were dull and lifeless.
It's very rare to get a shiny grey diamond....... of course we'll have one to show you guys in a few moments

Well, I've only seen the ones David gets so I would have said they are gorgeous! But obviously I was seeing the pick of the litter and am therefore spoiled. The ones David had were lively.

This one has a "Color Origin" GIA report. "Fancy Gray"

Great question Ace!

There's no set answer though.
First we'd look at wat we're trying to bring out.
You're correct that a gray diamond might "bluff" a blue color- in a few cases.
If that's the case, you'd want to do something to bring out the blue....Pink diamonds around? ? ? ? ? ?

In the case of the Emerald Cut above, I saw the gray, and wanted that to become more apparent....we used the yellow sides and it seemed to work.

Interesting thread!

I was quite taken with that gray marquise when it was in the inventory.  WM got a hand shot of it that blew me away.

Pink and Gray -- a glorious combination.  It's actually a HUGE home furnishing concept throughout the 50's, 60's and 80's, and it's coming back retro really big. It works, and it's beautiful.
