Hi!
I''m Looking for some advice and opinions on a particular diamond. I had a post earlier about my search for a diamond for an engagement ring. Here''s what I was looking for:
-1.3-1.35 ct Round
-AGS0 or GIA EX Cut (prefer AGS 0 but having difficult time locating very many that are in my price range
-SI1 or SI2 (must be eye clean)
-H color or better
-EX/Ideal polish/symmetry
-Holloway cut advisor 2 or lower
-$7500 is my limit and prefer closer to $7000 for the diamond
-setting is going to be Ritani endless love Halo
With the help of Lorelei I found a AGS-0 that fit everything I was looking for except that it was a I color. I said I didn''t want to go below H, but I had some questions that I thought some of you here might be able to answer.
1.First, will an I color diamond with a medium blue fluorescence improve the I color and make it look more like a higher color grade...say like a H?
2.Since the diamond is an AGS-0 ideal cut will that make make the I color look better and less noticeable for color?
3.Lastly, I''ve read that I color diamonds usually face up white and the the color is usually noticed on the sides. Since I''m setting the diamond in a halo bezel(G-H color diamonds) setting, and the sides aren''t being shown, will it be difficult to tell that this diamond is an I color?
With the AGS-0 cut, medium blue fluorescence, and halo setting will I be able to notice a difference from an H to an I? Is it worth getting the H over the I? Any ideas, opinions, or comments will be appreciated.
Here''s the diamond for niceice
