My g/f wants a big stone so I had to go low in color and clarity. I noted many posts in other diamond forums indicating that the strong blue fluorescence supposedly can make it whiter when the colour is I or J. I visited a few local jewelry shops and between H-I-J, it was really hard to catch the difference in appearance by naked eyes.
I came up with final two options.
option 1
1.71 C SI1 J excellent cut $ 7,600. HCA 1.0
I really like the price and the cut, however, I got the magnified photo of the stone, and it shows the black inculsion in the centre, I don't know it would be eye clean clarity.
option 2
1.78 C VS1 J excellent Cut $9,050 HCA1.9
larger table, which will make the stone look bigger and the clarity is amazing.
both options are within my budget and i'm leaning more on option 2.
I want to hear your guys opinions ! thanx !
