I had been looking in the F/VS2 to G/VS2 range until reading here about H color and eye clean SI1s and am now wondering if I’m splitting hairs to stop at G/VS2. The dollar differences are significant. All the stones I’m considering are about 1.85ct ideal cut triple zero (or id/id) stones that score 1.0-1.2 on the HCA.
1) f/vs2 1.81 $16,566
2) f/si1 1.85 $15,997
3) g/vs2 1.85 $15,007
4) g/si1 1.85 $13,602
I can afford the f/vs2 but why spend the extra $3,000 if a g/si1 is indistinguishable. What should I be focusing on here and where should I draw the line?
