if size is the most important thing to you then you have to go with the bigger one.

yes the size difference would be apparent. Id have him get IS images for both. Have you tried splitting the difference? A well cut 1.0 to 1.10? ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K |

you keep pulling up 60/60 diamonds freddy. if size is your priority, that may be the best option for you but it's generally not going to be the first choice among the cut fanatics around here.

i guess what im trying to do is find a good tone with the best bang for the buck here's my priority(well, my gf is more like it), 1. carat, 2. cut, then the rest she's not looking for the best, no the worst..something in the mid range..and my budget is ~ $6k. how about this guys? http://www.jamesallen.com/diamond.asp?cid=131&item=796682

Most people here will tell you that the best bang for the buck comes from an "Ideal" cut SI stone. (The most sparkles and lowest clarity while still being "eye clean") Other than that - color is just a matter of personal preference and budget. You seem to be coming back to "premium" cuts to save money and get a little more size. I personally would not do that - I would pick a slightly smaller stone with a little more POP. just my .02

freddy, are you using the ps search tool above? you have a very nice budget and can get a lot of stone with a grrrreaat cut. use the 'cut quality search' all of those stones that come up are in house and have all the information you need to make a sound purchasing decision. after you enter your criteria and search the first time, you can go down to the bottom of the results page and expand your criteria. i would seriously consider lowering your color. if you get a really well cut stone, it will face up as white as any of the colorless stones. you can really put some $$ into size and cut if you go down to the i/j range and you will NOT be dissapointed.

The G SI1 looks promising. Can you ask James Allen to get you crown/pavillion angles on it? I know a lot of people on the board would disagree, but I wouldn't go as low as a J. H, maybe.
