The time has come after 50+ yrs to take the plunge for the 1st time. I have been doing lots of research and my head is ready to explode. I have decided on a round stone(G-H color, SI1-VS2 range, .90-.95 ct) and have visited James Allen's website and found this stone. It scores well on HCA and I wanted to see what words of wisdom the experts here have on this choice. Thanks much.
