I am looking to get engaged soon and am in the market for a diamond. I have been offered the following diamond by reputable dealer in NYC:
1.69 carat round brilliant
Meas. 7.64 - 7.68 x 4.70 mm
Depth 61.4%
Table 58%
Girdle Medium to slightly thick
Cutlet none
Polish vg
Symmetry ex
Color I
Clarity SI1
Flour. none
Price: $8600
I have an appointment to see the stone on Tuesday, so I have yet to see it. My question is that I am concerned about the color as I really wanted a G or H. I am assured that the cut is excellent and it is very brilliant, but will the low color grade effect the beauty of the stone? Can a laymen actually see the differnce between a G H and I? I would also appreciated some input as to the asking price.
