Hi People Im Tana 26 from Nottingham UK I have came across your forum a few times when doing google searches and finally thought i would join. I adore all jewellery not just diamonds  but of course diamonds are a favorite of mine and i am lucky enough to have a few wonderful rings from my partner (maybe my husband next year  ) He gave me the most wonderful ice white butterfly diamond ring with black diamond center body for an engagement ring 2 months ago and since then i have been obsessed with getting a few more coloured diamonds . today i treated myself to a cognac cluster ring which has a large amount of small chocolate brown diamonds as petals and then some smaller yellow diamonds around the center then one larger champagne colour diamond all together making a sparkly flower set in 18k white gold with some small white diamonds on the shank to finish the ring off . I payed £250 for it (secondhand ) and even though people here in the uk dont really go for brown/yellow diamonds i feel i got this ring cheap as it looks like who ever made it has put hours of thought and work into this ring . Basically i joined all of you because i would love to know more about these diamonds and if they are natural or heat treated to this colour. |

The Butterfly ring i am not sure about where it came from it was a total surprise and my partner wont tell me The flower one i got today secondhand  Actually i have got a more normal every day solitaire Engagement ring that my partner gave me about 8 years ago . it is 1ct brilliant cut and has a black mark in it but i still love it . At the time where we live they was not much choice of jewellers and that was the ring he could afford . The jeweller was honest about the mark in the diamond and gave us a eye glass to see for our selfs. The ring still has a brilliant sparkle and is very ice white .  Me and my partner split up for a while because at the time he said he didnt want children and i knew i did want children. We got back together after 2 years apart and now have a beautiful son He asked me to marry him again recently and next year we are finally going to get around to tying the knot . I want to get my old wedding ring re set and wear that one every day!! |

I dont mind you answering i love the blue heart ring , i really fancy something blue next i think . Just thought i would show you all the original Engagement ring . gosh you would not believe how close i came to selling this once i am so glad i did not sell it !!  I am thinking of having it totally re set in white gold or platinum depending on how much that will cost. Any ides of some settings would be great . The wedding ring i like has white and yellow gold in it and is quite fancy so i would want this one to be more modern but still quite plain . (P.S I hope i dont come across as a show off with my pics but im a photographer for a living) |
