  • At the risk of sounding uncouth, I thought the irradiated diamond looked better.

  • @JamisonPantley

    Not uncouth at all!

    Diamonds are all about preference!

    Thanks for commenting!

  • Wow! I love that natural blue diamond! It is also the first time I have heard your voice David!! So cool!

  • Thank you Monica~!!

  • Great video. :D Good demostration to show natural vs. the hyper-saturated irradiated stones' electric-like color. How big was the irradiated stone? That FDB Asscher was gorgeous.

    Would be fun to see a natural vs. HTHP comparison, too.

  • Thank you Ryan!

    when creating HPHT diamonds, you get a certain color distribution and some variety of color. many colors and varieties of colors could be natural as well as HPHT. so a video would not show any real difference.

    microscopic analysis of inclusions works, inclusions look differently in HPHT diamonds.
