How do you plan to set it?

Are you and her truely going to be happy with a K color. I might suggest you goto a local jeweler and eyeball a K color stone before proceeding. consider this even before you reserve this stone and get an aset/idealscope images and a gem report.

What price range are you shopping and I'm assuming you would like 1.0ct+ for a stone? We might be able to help you narrow down a few others that could be possible.

Thanks and good luck,
Ravin

It should be a nice stone. K will show a hint of color. Probably fine if you are not color sensitive.
I have a small well cut J colored stone. The color doesnt bother me a bit.
