Hi,
I'm hoping I can get some assistance from forum experts finding a top performing 1 ct round diamond. I understand the 4 Cs and have some preferences, but the measurements (crown, depth etc) and their interactions are making my head spin.
I'd like to get great value, with that in mind:
Cut: Must be among the best
Clarity: Must be eye-clean, prefer VS2 or better for peace of mind but would consider an SI1 as long as it was definitely eye-clean
Color: I-color or better
Carat: I'd like a 1ct or slightly larger, but I would consider say a 0.95 if it was a great stone.
I'm looking at Jamesallen because I get to send 3 stones in for analysis. But I am definitely open to other vendors as well.
Thanks in advance!
