Size, cut, clarity and getting closer

Ok,

As a side thought I think I’m ready to start talking about cut, amazing enough most of the diamonds I looked at last night were S1 and H in color, I’m really not sure about the cut because that wasn’t readily available. Of course they did have a “store” name for their ideal cut or excellent cut. By the way, the band style was called a “Bella”. I’m sure that can be replicated by the designer her in town or someone even mentioned Whiteflash for customizing.

Here are my questions about stones and color,

Color- f-h, if I go with h will it be noticeable and am I really going to save that much?

Cut- nothing lower than excellent and really wanting to go Ideal, by the way what is an H&A?

Clarity, something at the very least eye clean, so S1 should complete that but can a S2 be eye clean as well?

The ring will be three stones total, the two on the sides will be accent stones of course. So I am think a .8.- .95 for the center stone and on each side a .5, any thoughts on the esthetics ?

My budget is 10k but so far it looks like I may walk in around 7k. As I stated earlier, the 2 ct TW just looked huge on her size 5 finger.

Thanks again for all your help and again what a great site. You have made this much easier and I feel much more confident in this venture.

Thanks,
Matt
