I will be getting this setting in white gold size 4.75 (she is between a 4.5 and 5 on the standard ring sizers that Jewelers use to size people in store (I'm assuming this would be the right size at least). I was originally set on getting a diamond in a brick and mortar store, but have found what seem to be better deals on James Allen. I'm requesting help from all the experts here regarding how I should procure my diamond.
$3310 James Allen .92ct
$3090 James Allen .9ct (5.17% PriceScope Discount brings it to $2930)
$3482 Kassab Jewelers B&M .9ct GIA GIA Cert#: 7243095136
$3100 Kassab Jewelers B&M .9ct GIA Cert #: 6241093709
My main concern with the James Allen is that I can't see how warm the J color is in natural light. For the .9ct James Allen, it has a strong blue fluorescence, which I have read whitens out the J color. If you had to pick a diamond given my priorities, which would you go with (if any) and why?
My Prioritization (based on discussion of gf's preferences):
1. Weight: .9-1.1ct
2. Cut: Excellent (2 or less on Hollow cut scale)
3. Clarity: Vs1-SI1
4. Color: i-J
Let me know if you have any questions!
