I was wondering if somebody can clear something up for me... I have been trying to do a lot of research on here, and keep reading about JA, and have a concern. While I keep reading that cut is most important, and color is typically the category you can play around with most, I have noticed that every single stone I look at with an I color grade on the JA website seems to give off a very yellow color on the video. I have not noticed this with diamonds on other websites with the same specs. I am wondering if this is just the way they are appearing on the video or if this is what I should expect with a stone with an I color grade? ( I am not in anyway trying to bash JA, I am just trying to understand the reality of the stones I am looking at/for). Here are a few links, hopefully you guys see what I see.

While I have your attention, being that I don't know much about diamonds, besides what I have read so far on here (which is somewhat overwhelming), what is everyone's recommendation for a round stone 1.5-2ct between 8-12k ( I'm looking for a combination of quality and size, however I would rather go with 1.5 and get quality if there is a significant difference) in terms of the Four C's? I am aware cut is most important and intend on on dealing with ideal/excellent cuts. As well, I am a little lost when it comes to an ideal girdle thickness and table? I appreciate information as well as actual numbers so that I don't have to keep bothering you guys, whatever information you can offer! Thank you all in advance for taking the time to read this and help me out!
