I posted about a week ago and I'm still having trouble deciding on what to buy. I've been looking at a H Si1 1.08 w/GIA cert for a few weeks now. I'm a perfectionist and can't decide if it is holding me up or not! I've run all the numbers through the HCA and the diamond scored a 5. I've also compared prices online and the price seems to be inline with others similar. It appears to be a good spread for the money, but doesn't have the fire and scintillation as compared to the spread for the money. This may be more of a personal preference question, but should I be more concerned with numbers and how things are rated vs. how the diamond looks on the mounting and under normal lighting circumstances? Is the average Joe going to know the difference by looking at the diamond whether or not it scored a 2 or a 5 on the HCA? I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing and could use some advice and or other opinions!
Thank you much!
