Hi all
I discovered this site a couple of weeks ago and was glad I did before going to the local stores. There has been some great
Information but it seems the more I learn the more confused I seem to get. I have never purchased a diamond before and
want to get this right. It seems I could get better advice here then the store at the mall so I think online is the way to go.
I have been mostly on James Allen as I like being able to view and the return policy if not happy.
I know I'm looking for a round solitaire in a simple white gold setting
Hoping for 1.5 to 2 ct budget would be 10 to 12 k which I could bump up to 15
Now this is where I get confused it seems cut is the most important but how important is clarity and colour
What is the right balance to get best fire and sparkle
For example if the cut is excellent would a lower colour work ok
Thanks any advice would be greatly appreciated
