1.2 F v 1.3 G

[Guiler]

Hi

I have been looking at a few diamonds and it seems that for about the same money I can get a 1.2 F or 1.3 G with similar cut (excellent) and both GIA. I am in the Uk so pay a lot for them here!

What would be the better option? I can't really see the difference myself between F and G and therefore the 1.3 seems better but the last thing I want to do is give the fiance some big yellow embarassment!

Any help would be appreciated!

have you seen the diamonds in person? do you have more information on the diamonds? not all GIA Excellents are equal.

a G is not going to be a yellow embarrassment! It is at the top of the near colorless range and rounds show less color than other shapes. I think you are fine with a GIA graded G! I myself have a G diamond and it does not look yellow at all!
