I have an 'i' ACA getting delivered next week. The extra size made sense as it'll be 7.2 mm vs2 <10k. I'll admit I'm nervous about the color while waiting though.
I'm no expert but I'm sure they'll all tell you to look at ags colors in person & decide whether size or colorless is more important to u.
I don't think I'd personally pony up the money for anything above vs1 though.
 
If color sensitivity is not a factor the I VS2 is a great choice for maximizing size. The G VS2 would be an excellent choice to stay over 1 ct while maximizing color. The 1.04 F VS2 is also a great choice. Many good choices here. What is most important to you? Size or color?

Also if you call WF they'll walk you through the inclusions & compare the diamonds you like for you. To me the first F seemed to have a busy table on the plot & the crystal on the 1st G could be trouble. Just let them know what you're looking for as clean. I believe their definition is 10" top view.
If you're leaning toward one I'd put it on hold so it Doesn't get snagged

I dont' really know, to be honest. that's why I am here, hehe . I am looking to use platinum for setting -so wondering if color will be visible. I am OK with G color. but not sure if I will be a problem with platinum
 
With ACA diamonds I think you are pretty safe to just decide your budget then fit in the specs around that. There are several people on here with “I” color stones who are very happy with them and lots of threads with photos if you search. I’m pretty sure that unless you are very color sensitive you’d be ok with at least an H. How about this one?

If in doubt, just ask Whiteflash to go through the options with you. I think they’d also be very happy to provide side by side photos for comparison.
 
You're looking at ACAs which is awesome because the brilliance should mask some of the color. Plus they have a 100% upgrade & 30 day I believe return policy so you can be a little more risky with your color/clarity IMO. I wouldn't eliminate SI. I'd pick about 3 winners & ask a WF associate to go over them with you. What I asked is if they're eye clean from every angle & distance. & If the stone is an 'i' is it closer to a 'g' or an 'h'. & So on
So a couple Questions:
Max Stone budget?
What do her friends have/any cultural bias?

G is a great choice for platinum and color should not be visible unless you're very color sensitive. This is what I would consider to be a safe choice in regards to color. G/H is often the sweet spot for color for those who are not color sensitive.
 
Do you have a preferred setting the stone is going to go in?

If it's a solitaire, you will see more of the stone from the side and tint will be more obvious.
If it's a halo setting, you will see less of the side of the stone and therefore the (excellent!) light performance out of the crown will be the dominant feature that you see,
 
Did u put#2 on hold?
I'd avoid the F

Because of the inclusions under the table? or another reason?

They look pretty see-through in the video so they might not really show in real life - it might need to be assessed in person to decide.

The G VS2 table is much cleaner, and I presume that the Additional Clouds Not Shown isn't an issue, because I imagine that WF wouldn't sell it if it was.

You're right & I'm sure WF would confirm that there 100% eye clean. It would just be a mind clean thing for me knowing it's so busy under the table. Even though being an ACA I'm sure the performance isn't affected
