Hi everyone,
I'm still on my quest to learn about radiants and what exactly I want. I've only seen a couple in real life and one was around 0.8 carat which seemed a nice size and is at the top end of our budget (or maybe over budget depending on the specific diamond).
I was looking at JA today and comparing these two diamonds in terms of size, one is 0.81 carat and the other is 0.52. Clearly there is a substantial difference in price. However, I would love your opinions on the actual measurements and how big of a difference the size would actually make in real life? If I could get a smaller carat weight for a similar actual face-up size, that would change my options a LOT.
