Who is interested in the "Pink Panther DIAMOND"?!!!...
I've loved the Pink Panther movies since I was a kid in the 80's, and I'm thinking about making the one pictured below.
The one below has the actual cartoon Pink Panther etched into it, which is from an animated intro to one of the movies, but in one of the films it is mentioned to have a "flaw or inclusion" that looks like a Panther leaping, hence calling it the "Pink Panther Diamond".
So, being a fan of Jewelry Heist movies, I'm interested in making the Pink Diamond below with an abstract flaw that looks like a Panther leaping.
Measurements: 60mm x 40mm x 30mm
It will be Hand-cut Crystal Glass with a Laser-etched 3D image of an abstract image of a Panther leaping.
Price: Estimated to be around $90 USD, maybe less... Will know final price when factory receives designs.
I'll provide updates and final designs when I have them!
Post below if you want on the list!

The impression I always got from Return was that the flaw in its center is pink.Does anyone know why the Diamond, in the film "Return of the Pink Panther", is not PINK?...
There's no way to just make the engraving pink...The impression I always got from Return was that the flaw in its center is pink.
Is that doable to somehow color the engraving but not the surrounding medium? If so, that would be my vote.
Otherwise, I'd personally prefer keeping it clear, but I'd still give it consideration if it's a very faint pink.
Understandable.There's no way to just make the engraving pink...
I asked the factory if they could do a very light pink crystal color, and should hear back from them on Monday.
I'm thinking this color will probably be the one we'll be able to get closest to...Understandable.
As far as shade, my suggestion would be something along the lines of the Hortensia diamond, part of the French Crown Jewels in the Louvre:
Diamant rose à cinq pans dit Diamant Hortensia
L'Hortensia est un diamant de couleur rose, légèrement teinté de brun-orangé, de 21,32 carats. Il est mentionné pour la première fois dans l'inventaire des joyaux de la Couronne de 1691, où il est serti alors dans une parure de diamants du roi. Peut-être a-t-il été ramené par Jean Pitan le...collections.louvre.fr
Edit: This also squares reasonably with the opening shot. Granted, that hue was probably due to lighting, but then again, the lighting in the heist scene was very blue, so I think there is a little wiggle room as far as screen-accuracy.
UPDATE:
So, I've been trying to decide what version to go with on this project...
I would prefer to go with a screen-used version, instead of the Pink version I have in my first interest post...
Does anyone know why the Diamond, in the film "Return of the Pink Panther", is not PINK?...
I love the size and shape of this diamond the best, but it looked like just a huge Clear Diamond...
I think this shape is the best one to go with and would be the best candidate to have the 'Leaping Panther' Laser-Engraved in its' center...
Plus, the bottom does look similar to the photo below...
If I did go with this shape, should I keep it 'Clear', or go with 'Light Pink' color? It will be a 'lighter' pink than in this photo...

This is why I'm trying to make it a 'Light Pink'. Even the picture above, I believe they increased the saturation on the color for the photo.Between the two options, I'm still voting clear, but I'll probably go for one either way.
I appreciate you allowing us input on your decision-making.
