I currently have a 3ct round stone, H color, SI2. I have it set in a solitaire band and have been looking for my "dream" setting. Dh and I were away for the weekend (anniversary, no kids) and were window shopping. I saw IT the dream setting, so we went in. The couple that owned it were very friendly and helpful. He actually had made the setting. He says "do you want to see what it looks like with a diamond in it"....we say "sure". So he plops a 4.15ct round, J color, VS1.....and WOW, it''s beautiful. Now my question is.....do I go for the bigger diamond with the setting (dh likes the looks of the bigger diamond), or do I get the setting and put my stone in it? The color is lower, but honestly you wouldn''t know it by looking at it....which is crazy to me. The jeweler was very nice and let us take it outside to see how it looks in natural light. AMAZING, that thing sparkled like crazy.
Here is the GIA report grading (also, the report is from 2/2000-should it be updated?):
4.17
measurements: 10.5x10.64x6.14
depth: 58.1%
table: 63%
girdle: thin to med
culet: small
polish: good
symmetry: very good
clarity: VS1
color: J
fluorescence: none
Thank you for any/all help.....all of this diamond stuff is really confusing to me. I usually go off of how it LOOKS!! ;P
