hey guys i know there's been this topic a million times.. but i'm new to this whole thing and i need a decision FAST as i'm planning to propose on the 9th of November next next weekend and still need the ring to be made.
i purchased this diamond here:
http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/pear-shaped/1.01-carat-g-color-si2-clarity-sku-200189
GIA-Graded, G color- excellent polish, VG symmety
I love how sparkly, shimmery this diamond is.. but I compared it to my mothers "F" colored EGL diamond.. and even with the looser grading from EGL.. i can't help but notice how much whiter it is.. (it's a classic round shaped diamond)
i read that pear shapes the color matters more than other shapes...... and I can only really afford maybe one color grade higher.. (i'm already over my budget).. does anyone with experience with pear shapes think I'll honestly be able to see the difference with the F-colored diamond? If so.. i was thinking of getting this one: http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/pear-shaped/0.96-carat-f-color-vs2-clarity-sku-176364
but i dont like how big the table is and i'm just stressed out because i really need to decide soon.. any help or suggestions and i would be utmost appreciated... i would hate to return this ring just to find out i can't even tell the darn difference.....and i can't help but see my diamond as yellow now, now that i've compared it to my mom's diamond.....
