A question about an engagement ring diamond... From the research I have done the consensus (sp?) seems to be that cut is the most important factor so I am looking at ideal cuts only, in terms of shape I want a princess cut diamond, I would like to get a clarity of VS2 or better, but my major question is color. I have read that the difference in the near colorless and colorless diamonds is not very noticable to most people so I feel like this is one area I may be able to save money. I have been looking at rings online to get an idea of prices and have noticed that I can save quite a bit if I go for an H or I diamond rather than a higher color grade. My question for those of you with more experience and have your rings already is have you noticed a color difference in H or I diamonds verses an F or G. Do H and I diamonds actually look yellowish or is it something only a jeweler would actually notice? I don''t think I would go further than an I but I have never compared all of these in person so I would love all of your input. Thanks again!
p.s. If it matters I have been looking at 1.25 - 1.5 ct diamonds.
