lowest clarity and color for BN signature and JA true heart?

[coolmanfever]

Hello guys,

I am wondering what is the lowest clarity and color rating I can go for Blue Nile's signature cut and JA's true heart cut while the diamond still look eye clean and sparkles ? I ask because I want to the get the biggest size diamond for my girlfriend within my budget.

BN's Signature's are guaranteed eyeclean. JA's Truehearts, to my knowledge, are not.

As for color? It's personal. I am fine with J/K's for solitaire earrings for 2 ctw and under and so are many experienced buyers. But stones have to be mindclean. So if you are buying for someone else... I's might be a good color to shoot for.

AS far as I a aware, Blue Nile signature ideal cuts (at least for round brilliants) only go down to an I in color.
