The 2 ct. is at Bailey Banks and Biddle for 22k. My husband is only letting me upgrade if I trade in my current ring. So what should I be looking for? The store manager told me that "I" color on a GIA cert is not yellow at all. I am going back on Tues. to compare an "I" color with an "F" color with same specs. The "I" color is 22k and the "F" color is 36k. I rather not spend 30K out of pocket. What is so "bad" about a 60/60? The diamond I am looking at has a 1.4 HCA score. What questions should I ask when I go back to the jewelry store on Tuesday?? Thanks!!

The jewelry store will only give me 3500 outright for the stone but will allow me 6600 (plus 1400 for a earring studs for a total of 8k off) as a trade in. I will go and haggle prices and see what else is available. Unfortunately my husband is a brick and mortar guy and believes that the internet will rip you off. SIGH.....Since it's his money, I will have to follow his wishes even if that means paying more. Thank you! I will def. post some more options on Tuesday!
