Need to make DECISION...please HELP one last time!

[sparkle2006]

Just wanted to get one last post in to get everyone''s opinion before I decide on my upgrade. I have come to realize that I am color sensitive, and I can see the tint in my I color stone 90% of the time. I checked with Sarah from GOG and she said this SI2 stone is definitely eye clean, even difficult to see with the loupe. She said the feather is transparent, which is why it is such a good SI2. Please any expert advice is greatly appreciated! I have until Saturday!!

Anyone?!?! I know the difference seems minimal, but this is a really important decision for me and any expert help is greatly needed.

Thanks

The F colour stone''s light performance seems good.
But the inclusion plot seems to show a large feather on the right edge of the stone. I would check whether it is a potential durability problem.

The new stone looks like it would be beautiful! I think you will see the color difference - particularly from the side. Is there something in particular about it that worries you?

Thank You!! I guess what bothers me is if the color difference will be very noticeable or only marginally noticeable; I have owned a G color, and really did prefer it to my current I color, so I am sure I will love an F color. Also the SI2 clarity worries me, in particular the feather, but I spoke to Sarah at GOG and she said it is the cleanest SI2 she has ever seen and the feather does not jeopardize the stone at all. I don''t care if I can see the inclusions with a loop, only with my eyes.

Also, I just wanted to make sure that the upgrade is worth it, that this diamond looks better than my current diamond!

I can see the feather near the girdle in the regular pic, and they both show up rather easily in the darkfield pics... but I''ll be darned if I can pick out the feather in the table even after knowing where it is. I''m sure it''ll be that much harder when the diamond is 1/10th the size it is on my screen...

Sounds like a pretty solid upgrade to me... you''ll definitely notice that color difference

Do you think the fire and sparkle are good in the F, SI2? Do all the numbers add up nicely, i.e. table and depth percentages, along with pavilion and crown angles?

It looks like a great trade. You will definitely notice a color difference.

Absolutely, it should be a beauty!

I can easily see the difference between H-I colour and F colour.
I can't see the difference between D and F.

An upgrade to F colour should solve your colour visibility problems.

Thank you all so much! I know that I have to make the final decision, but it is just great that there is a site like this where you can get expert advice on a very big decision, so that one can feel confident in the decision they have made

Thanks
