Price jump from H to G, all else equal?

summertime Cut Rock Total Posts: 182 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 12/6/2008	Can anyone tell me how much more I should expect to pay for a G rather than an H, without changing anything else? I'm considering an AGS0 or GIA Excellent princess cut, about .95 ct, SI1 (eye-clean). I thought that as long as an H faced up as white as a G, I could compromise to stay within budget. However, I find that I am becoming more sensitive to color. I haven't gotten to compare in person yet, so I know I will have a better sense of color then, but I was wondering how much more I could expect to pay if I decde on the G. Thanks!

I think it's probably a result of a limited amount of data.

summertime Cut Rock Total Posts: 182 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 12/6/2008	Thank you both for your replies. I had stumbled across those charts a time or two before, but I'm afraid to trust what they indicate the difference is between a G and an H because there are so many other factors that are affecting the price. I was just wondering if anyone knew an approximate range of the jump between the two - like a few hundred or more than 1,000? I guess I'll just have to find two diamonds that meet all my other criteria and then decide. Thanks again!

I would go look at them in person; I can't tell any difference from a G to an H. Keep us posted.

Keep us posted. Yes, look at them in person! I own diamonds ranging from D, E, F, & G and the I can tell the G is warmer, but the others all look the same to me. It's all about perception. FWIW, I find diamonds in the G-H range to look most appealing.
