Hi, I want to thank everyone for there advice. I think I have narrowed my search down to a specific price range/cut/color/clarity. And I found a few nice diamonds in this range. I am looking for a diamond with a lot of sparkle and eye clean/whiteish.... also round. I plan on mounting it in platnium. The objective is to make her smile and not have any nagging flaws.
I have placed the two stones on hold and plan on getting one tomorrow.... unless the collective brain of PS spots something wrong, or thinks there is a reason to wait. I calculated the HCA score for both of them and they look good. Would a .2 difference be noticable? I am leaning a little more to #1 because it is cheaper and VS2 should be just as good as VS1 to the eye, right?
Thanks for everyones'' advice!
