Looking to spend $22K-$24K for stone. Girlfriend wants big, I want quality (a common conflict I''m sure!!). Assuming very good symmetry/polish and shape, what are your thoughts about G versus F color? and VS2 versus VS1 clarity? Should I consider a clean SI for a large Emerald cut or will that be too noticeable? Would appreciate suggestions regarding optimal size / quality tradeoffs.
