I''m driving myself crazy because I find I can''t compromise clarity, and don''t want to pay for both color and clarity because it drives the price way up. So I''m thinking of moving from G SI1 to H VS1, and want to know what people think of the color difference? The H color with the better clarity is about $1100 more than the G, but the optics look so much better. I''m also stuck on the idea that feathers are a crack in a stone, so I''ve been shying away from stones with feathers. Am I neurotic or what?
So, am I crazy to pay a higher price for clarity and precision, while at the same time dropping from G to H? I also need to verify the internal pictures of the H stone are the actual pictures and not representative. I think I read that if it says "confirmed" then it''s the actual, but if it doesn''t then it''s representative.
Here are the two I''ve got it down to:
G SI1
H VS1
Everyone here is great and I''m truly impressed with the amount of time everyone spends helping out. My head is about to burst from trying to process everything, and I actually thought about putting pieces of paper in a hat and going with whatever I pulled out!
