Hi,
I am new to this forum and would greatly appreciate anyone''s advice. I am looking to purchase a diamond and my jeweler has two that I am interested in. Both are EGL certified. One is a D color, 1.77 ct, SI3. The only visible inclusion appears as a teeny tiny black spec on the girdle. It may be able to be hidden or at least camoflouged by the right kind of mounting. I would never have noticed the spot if it weren''t pointed out to me. The second diamond is an I color, 1.64ct, SI1. Both have a lot of brilliance and fire, but of course the D color stone really looks a lot whiter in comparison to the I. It will be in a platinum setting, and I was told that diamonds with lesser color look better with platinum. I was wondering if the D color and the larger size out weigh the clarity when it comes to value?
Here are the specs on both stones:
