I'm torn between two different stones. I'm going with a round stone in a graduated pave band. I'd like a quality stone, but of course want a large one too.
I'm looking at a 1.39 G color vs a 1.50 H color. The 1.50 is $1000 more. I could afford the extra $1000, but it would really take me to the top of my budget.
The stones seem to be of similar quality, except for the color. I've been happy the G color, am wonder how much tint will really be in there with the H. I'm only concerned with up close naked eye inspection.
It seems like most in our social circle go for big rocks. I'd love to get my lady a 1.5, but I'd rather have the 1.39 if it will look better. I'm not going to spend the $1000 on a better quality 1.39.
Advice?
