Less...the two blue eternavistas are showing AT LAB on Takara website for what seems like an eternity now. What's the deal? I would switch labs if it takes that long to grade them.

Hi SheTiger,
Actually, by 'at the lab' we meant the lab that does the color change on them. But what has happened is that the two blues didn't turn out a pure blue...rather a grey/green dark blue...so we sent them back to have them retreated which took another 3 weeks, and they came back w/o much change.

They were graded as "fancy vivid greenish blue" but they are a dark blue and we were hoping for more of a pure blue.

So, not clear if we are going to sell them as is or just repolish them and turn them back to clears (J color) and sell them as whites.

In either case, we won't be continuing with the EternaVista program as the colors are not the pure colors we were after.

Hope that helps,
Less

Thanks for the quick response Less. I am sorry to hear that you won't be continuing the eternavista program. Are you then going to go back to offering the Takara Blue Diamonds then?

These two blues didn't turn out well, so we have sent them back in to be redone in a lighter blue...we should have them back next week I hope.

Best regards,
Less

Oh, ok. I was kind of hoping to see the color that they did turn out. For me, the greenish blue sounded very nice. lol

Greenish grey blue sounds pretty to me too, I could think of a ton of uses for one.

Not yet unfortunately...I called the lab owner on Sunday asking what the hold up was, and he is supposed to get back to me with an ETA or the stones shortly.

Hope that helps,
Less
