I'm sooooo excited to find DBL and this forum. I love pink, always have, and I don't know how I've missed pink diamonds!!!  Heck, I even have a custom pink Smart car with pink suede and black leather seats for my play-around-town car. But now that I've discovered DBL and pink diamonds I know I have to have one .....or more. Unfortunately they are so expensive. I wish I had discovered this site sooner- I would have scooped up that .76 pink heart in a second! So, should I wait for more affordable light pinks to come available? Or get a diamond with a pink gold and pink diamond halo? I was originally thinking to get a colorless diamond with the pink halo and replace my ER for our 10th anniversary, but maybe I'll keep my ER and go for a RHR and go with a soft yellow and pink lemonade type or a vanilla colored diamond with the pink halo, or wait for a smaller pink diamond and double halo it with pink, and then white. Oh my, decisions, decisions, decisions...... HELP!!!!!!

jpup, Check out this diamond,  R3344 it's a very affordable pinkish diamond.  If you set in rose gold with pink or white diamonds next to it...it would look fantastic!!!   I have way to many diamonds on my wish list at the moment to enjoy it myself.   

(the site was overloaded, so I couldn't attach a picture...you can do the search at DBL for the picture though. )   

thanks- yes, I did look at that diamond, but I really want more the light true pink like the heart that sold. I would think about the new little pear shape as it is more the color I want and putting it in a double halo (although I see the loose stone has been changed to a ring this weekend), but pear shapes don't look good on me.

Hi Jpup!  Welcome!!  I love your description of "vanilla" stones- I just got my ER from DBL a few days ago, an L-color Henri Daussi halo (oh!  R3623), and the color it is most of the time definitely reminds me of a "French vanilla".  I'm basically ruined for life now on tinted and colored diamonds.

So are you now, by the way!  Count yourself lucky that your favorite color is pink, and not "Heart of the Ocean" blue a la Titanic  

Looking forward to seeing your cute pink Smartcar!

thank you for the welcome.  Your ring is beautiful! It's funny, but the warm tones seem to have more personality than the icy whites the more I look at them.  You're right- I'm ruined now (LOL)

I love all this talk about vanilla and french vanilla!  So true for diamonds in that range of color.  I love them myself.

I can't wait to see the pink smart car though.  I bet that has to be as cute as can be!

Welcome Jpup!

glad to hear i´m not the only one overwhelmed with choices. I joined CDI about a month or two ago thinking I knew what I wanted only to realize that I had to learn a lot about diamonds. My passion is yellow :-)
I think pinks are beautiful too!
Although thank goodness i´m not obsessed with them because they´d make my habit so much more expensive to maintain!

Sorry can´t help with your pic posting problem, haven´t managed it myself yet!
