I am in the market for a princess cut under $4000 - 1.0 or larger. i have looked at hundreds of stones and bottom line -
i can focus on VERY GOOD cut and excellent or very good symmetry/polish with the proper depth and table and L/W ratio, but i will be left with an I or more likely a J SI 1 or SI2.
would i be smarter to go with a higher color/clarity stone and sacrifice in another area to get the highest quality stone possible? i can''t figure out what is more important! i had a jeweler tell me that good cut, polish symmetry means you can drop to an I or J in color and not sacrifice appearance. is this true?
any advice is appreciated, i feel lost.
