Help me pick a couple of stones

[toxicant]

Hello all,

I need some help in picking a few stones for earings. I''m looking for somewhere between .75-.99. I-j color and si1-si2 but I want a great cut. Do they do a great cut on low quality as far as color and clarity go?

Since these will be earings is there a need for eye clean, perhaps I could go lower in clarity and bigger in size? Could I even go to k color?

Thanks

Ron

Hello all,

Do they do a great cut on low quality as far as color and clarity go? Yes indeed, many of the Pricescope vendors have superbly cut diamonds in the I J and even K and lower colour, and SI2 to I1 clarity. Is the size you mention the total weight for both diamonds, or is it for each?

Since these will be earings is there a need for eye clean, perhaps I could go lower in clarity and bigger in size? Could I even go to k color? Yes you could consider K colour ( GIA or AGS graded) if the cut is good.

Thanks
