guisep Rough Rock Total Posts: 2 Last Post: 2/27/2002 Member Since: 2/27/2002	Here's some background, <>Already popped the question <>She picked out a ring (Platinum eternity style) - It's from Renaissance Platinum <>Looking for > 2 carot stone Questions: <>Renaissance uses D stones for all the pave stones, given that it's a platinum ring can I get away with G or H for the center stone? <>Given the size I'm looking for can an SI1 work, I know the tutorial considers them a good value but really does not mention how a big ring affects this. My thoughts after doing about two month of research: <>Round (her choice) <>2+Carot <>Brilliant Ideal Cut (thanks for HCA) <>Color G <>Clarity SI1 Now that I'm ready to buy I would love some opinions before I lay down a good chunk of change. Let me know if I'm missing something.. thanks!

You may want to see if you can get the setting and drop in G colored stones in the cut quality you will buy. See what you think in a number of indoor and outdoor lighting conditions. Also, you will want to make sure that a 2 carat SI1 stone is truly eye-clean if that is important to you.

I do agree on the SI1, Im just wondering if its true that you would need a 10x loop to see the flaws. Ive looked at lots of rings and really cannot tell without help.

I once had a 2 carat G SI1 stone sent to me. It looked fine until I took it out in bright sunlight and then I could see the reflections of the inclusion in the stone. Check it out. If you haven't already, you may want to have an independent appraiser take a look at the diamond for you. The appraiser can see if there would be any durability issues with the stone and help you know what you are seeing. :)
