Actually, I have a 1.13ct G diamond, and we can spot the difference in color immediately, face up. When you tilt it, the difference is even more obvious. I guess my family and friends are more picky with color than anything else. The first thing my aunt said was, ''God that thing is white, is it a D? Good job!'' My best friend compared my G with my mom''s D, and she noticed the color difference right away as well. As far as clarity, it''s all psychological. As long as we know, it doesn''t really matter whether others know or not.
Yes, the setting does make it appear larger, although that wasn''t my intention. The custom platinum setting has 1ct of princess cut diamonds, and that whole ring only cost me $11k, so I think I did rather well. I only have to save an extra month or two to make the difference... and my mom''s totally worth it!!
forgot to add:
HOWEVER, if I were buying a ring for myself, I would drop in color & clarity, but still remain around the same size range. 1.25 F/VS2 is my sweet spot.
seems like chinese always goes for the D-E/IF-VVS type of stone
