A well cut round compared to an ideal cut round is negligible to some viewers. Considering the, in some cases, .40 ctw you'd be getting in the sacrifice, worth it to many woman.VBE|1445408640|3940529 said:so going larger I sacrifice cut, color and clarity but how much?

I would sacrifice size and go normal range color/clarity in the .9 range. Like .9ish H/I/SI1.
