Does the AGS think a J color is better than a SI1. I know they are not the same think colour and clarity but let me explain. I was looking at a J color VS2 clarity diamond which my jeweler said had a better balance than an I color SI1 clarity. I have not discussed AGS numbers with my jeweler so do not know why he thinks it is a better balance - maybe the cut of the stone. Most people on here said color was more important as it was visible to the naked eye whereas clarity was not. However looking at numbers given by AGS as these are the two things I am deciding between, dropping color to get the clarity I like, the J color gets a 3 grade but the SI1 clarity gets a 5 grade.
Can anyone including the experts comment on this. I hope it makes sense what I am asking. I know as I said color and clarity are two different things.
