I've noticed a sustantial price difference in I color stones. I have previously been considering a G or H color, VS2, .75-.85ct, with an HCA of 2 or less. My price range for the diamond is about 2800 - 3200. So far I haven't had any luck.
I plan having the stone set in a yellow gold tension setting. I've heard that some SI1 stones can not be tension set so I don't feel comfortable going any lower on clarity. What is your opinion on I color set in yellow gold? Will there be a noticable yellow tint or not?
Should I just try to be patient and keep looking?
Thanks in advance for the input. Diamond shopping is such a fun, and frustrating process.
