Novice needs a dictionary

[kcolli15]

Hi I''m new to the forum but really enjoying all the great discussions & new information. I''ve begun my search for a center stone and need a few basic explanations in regards to specs.

I''m roughly looking for a round 1.25 that sparkles like the ones I saw at Tiffany''s! Can anyone give me some advice as to what I should be looking for especially in regards to Depth, Table, & Measurements. Color & Clarity help would also be appreciated but I think I’m looking in the F color range & VS1 clarity.

Thanks!
