PSers have suggested that I-J BGD, ACA, Infinity would face up quite white, and I would love to enjoy one of those as I can get a much larger stone, so I took everyone''s advice and went to compare some sizes and colors again yesterday. Not too much to compare in the 2ct range.
At one retailer I was able to compare Ideals F-J in 1-1.5ct stones on white paper and I could see the difference below H. At the second retailer I compared a G and H in tweezers without knowing which was which, and easily picked out the H. The only mounted was a 2ct F and that was picking up yellow from the displays and walls, so it sparkled but looked a little yellow to me even, so I''m assuming it would look yellower even if it was an I-J
So, does this mean that I''m very color sensitive and that I shouldnt go lower than an G/H. or does this mean nothing since they were not super ideals. I am trying to maximize the size of my upgrade, but I want to enjoy the stone everytime I look at it, and I''m used to colorless. Is the only thing left to do, is order a stone from BGD or WF, HP? Which color should I try first? and there is no way to compare, unless I wire $$$ for a few stones at the same time, and I dont think I want to do that. Is there any way to have the stones sent to an independant appraiser for a deposit or some sort, so I can compare the stones?
