It is another sales tactic. That is all it is. If sales for the diamonique rings she wore played out. Why not a pricey ring.

Wow, what criticism about a girl who just likes big bling!  Probably she cannot afford the big diamond of her dreams. I, too, would enjoy wearing this yellow diamond ring--it has an awesome finger presence for the carat weight, and usually rounds and baguettes together give off a great sparkle.  

If I would have worked at QVC in the past, much of my salary might have gone to buying all the pretty gold jewelry that was so prevalent then!  Of course, I bought anyway, even without an employee discount, and I have a great collection.

IMO, the clarity is not quite as much of an issue for smaller diamond stones, as they are not really that valuable, and are usually sold in lots, not as individual stones. In the past smaller yellow stones were always worth less than white ones, but that does not stop them from being just as pretty.

Oh yes, I did happen to buy a QVC yellow/multi diamond ring two months ago--J417819--which is why I sadly have to pass on Amy's new ring, as my budget will not stretch that far!  I hope she wears it in good health, and enjoys it every day!

Actually diamonds are graded and sold in "parcels". VVS, F-G, Ideal Cut stones are put in Fine Jewelry in sizes as small as .05 points and do make a difference in the value and beauty of a finished piece of jewelry.

Good for Amy!  I'm sure she's earned it.  Enjoy it Amy.

I bet they get a good discount on things which is always a plus

Is she wearing yellow gold with her white band?

I don't think that bothers Amy, I love mixing metals.  Amy use to wear an engagement that did not connect to her band.  That would bother me.  I had a jeweler connect my band to my ring when I was married

It's a beautiful ring.  She wanted it, she brought.  She makes a boat load of money and she can, and does, buy nice things.  She has her employee discount but I believe it's only 20%.  Buying the ring was not a sales ploy but unboxing it on Instagram was.  It's on wait-list now.   It's actually very similar to a yellow diamond ring I bought from Shoplc years ago.  Hers has those bigger diamonds in the center, my center is all clustered stones.

The diamond clarity is I2, which explains the low price.

To be fair, color diamonds are more about the color.  They are treated just like color gems.   They are graded by color with Vivid etc, much more valuable.  Often color diamonds look "washed out" especially certain colors like pink.  Not so much yellow. That's why color saturation is so important.   But like certain color gems like sapphires, they increase in value.

Sorry don’t care for yellow diamonds nor the price. Easy pass.

I looked at the video of it and it is a very pretty ring, I am sure she will love it.  There are others from Affinity in that same price point that prefer more.  I do like that color diamond.
