Hey guys new to the forum and just starting to figure some things out. One particular cut has caught my eye and I was wondering if anyone could give feedback on why the large price difference between these two diamonds... Diamond 1 - More affordable Diamond 2 - More expensive, better color, less clarity Does color have that much weight on price? (Neither diamond fits into the D/E/F colorless range anyways). Also, is H an acceptable color? |

Date: 3/6/2007 9:45:31 PM H is more than acceptable for many people - less than acceptable for others. The clarity in both of these is overkill. I would stay in the VS range if clarity is important to you, but VVS and IF are really high unless you specifically want that. You won't see anything with VS. G is kind of a sweet spot color... some start noticing a difference at H but a high H and a low G are pretty indistinguishable so there is that. I didn't spend enough time there to figure out more of the price difference thing... but I would stick with G and lower your clarity... not a lot of princess choices there right now... yikes!

Also, is H an acceptable color? Agree with what Cehrabehra says. Actually, I was about to work out the pattern of G consistently significantly higher than H with princesses, but then couldn't find it, and gave up. Still, I agree, though tend to think in the case you're pointing to, some extremes on prices may be at work. Ira (Ruffles have Ridges) Z. |

I would definitely go down in clarity. In a VS2 and even in some SI1 or SI2 stones you won't see any inclusions without a loupe. I'd lower the clarity further and either increase the size of the stone, and/or the color of the stone. These are things that are 'more' visible.

Thanks guys for the great feedback, I am going to do some more shopping around and see if I can get more size and better color for similar money while sacrificing clarity a little bit.
