I have been reading on here for a while and trying to find similar advice but nothing really met my situation. I’m trying to make a decision on a diamond for my engagement ring but can’t decide which way to go. The ring is going to be a simple round halo. We have looked at diamonds but not much. She made comments that she loved the carat but also says she doesn’t want it to be obvious imperfections or yellow. Here are the diamonds I’m looking at, some certified 1.5 with great quality and some 2 with compromising either color or clarity. What are your thoughts (price is approx after tax with ring)…
1.51 H si1 very good cut Gia cert for $13,000 beautiful but felt small…
1.6 K si2 excellent cut Gia cert for $10,500
2 L si2 very good cut Gia cert for $11,200 I really didn’t notice the yellow too much but it could have been the lighting
2.02 F I1 not certified for $10,500 imperfections not too bad on the table but one cloud on the edge that we might be able to hid a little with a prong.
Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated! Looking to make a decision Friday so kind of a short time span…
Thanks!
