Hi, I was looking at these in a jewellery store, .5-.75 RB (which is the range I want) and I thought I could see the difference quite easily, which goes against everything I have read about the comparison between these two colours, especially with RB. Neither stone was ideal, but the D was a GIA ex ex ex, the other ex vg ex. I don't have more specs on the individual stones, I'm not actually interested in either of them as I'll be getting a super ideal from GOG.
So, do you think it was just in my head that I could see the difference? The mount is a 6 claws platinum mount that I will be getting. As for my preference I do like the really icey white look, but I don't want to pay for a D simply because it is a D on paper. I am wondering if the store lighting played a part, or cut quality. Though I would have expected the cut quality difference to be minimal since they were both GIA ex and they were both under a lot of halogen lights, masking the difference in their cut quality. I'd just like to point out that this goes a little beyond just not wanting to pay extra for something I can't see, GOG's range is also limited for D's from .5-.75. If you want to know why I want to buy from there it's because I am going to NYC next year for a holiday so I want to stop by there (and they have a good rep obviously!).
Thanks for any input.
P.S. I know about how the colour is graded (face down etc), but I still *thought* I could see a fairly big difference, though my partner couldn't.
