NOTE: Due to festive season in India, any item will not be shipped between the 5th and the 15th November. This 2.03 carat Old Mine Cushion is a classic "Goldilocks" stone. While the 5.03-carat "S" color diamond you looked at is a bold, yellow statement piece, this 2.03-carat stone is much more balanced for everyday wear while still retaining that soulful, antique charm. By choosing a GIA J-color in an Old Mine Cut (OMC), you are getting the perfect blend of vintage personality and "near-colorless" brightness. The "J" Color in an OMC: In a modern round diamond, a "J" might show a bit of tint. However, in an Old Mine Cut, a GIA J is considered quite high-end. These antique cuts are famous for their "inner glow." At 2 carats, the J-color warmth will be very subtle—it will look like a "creamy white" rather than "yellow." The "2-Carat" Visuals: A 2.03ct Old Mine Cushion often "faces up" a little smaller than a modern cushion because they are cut much deeper (with a high crown). It might look visually similar to a 1.70ct modern stone in terms of width, but it will have much more "fire" (rainbow flashes). Important Information for Buyers: 1.
