I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now doing lots of research and trying to make a sound decision on which diamond to purchase. I've been with my GF for almost 3 years now and I plan on proposing on our anniversary in March. I'm leaning towards the Legato band in Platinum as she has small fingers. |

ACAs have a narrow target of proportions, and are really consistent, so if your pool of contenders are all ACAs, you don't need to understand angles. The I VS1 is out. Check if any are not eye-clean. Those are out.

Welcome! They all look good, so check on the eyeclean factor for the SI as you say, then if you are having trouble choosing ask for one of the WF reps to evaluate the diamonds for you to give you an idea of various performance subtleties. ![]() Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but JulieN why is the I VS1 out? Is it because of the scratch on the surface? I'm just curious and still trying to learn. Good luck on your search OP!

After cut, most people try for a higher color rather than a higher clarity, since a hint of color is generally visible in I, but usually you can't see anything at all in SI1.
