I have been doing some shopping in person at a local jewelry store and I came across this diamond: (GIA certified)
Shape: Round Brilliant
Size: 1.10 carat
Color: G
Clarity : SI2
Cut: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluorescence: Faint
Table: 61%
Depth: 60.5%
Crown: 34 degrees, 13.0%
Pavilion: 41.2 degrees, 43.5%
Girdle: medium to slightly thick, 4.0%
Culet: None
Even though it is rated SI2, the diamond is eye-clean. I've done a lot of research but I'm still fairly new to diamonds. I have a hard time telling whether or not something is going to make a noticeable difference, especially if it isn't compared side-by-side with another diamond. For instance, is the table too big? Some people say you can go as high as 64% but if I got something more optimal like 57%, would the average person be able to tell the difference? Is there anything else that really stands out about this stone? The HCA tool rates it a 4.0 for overall visual performance, so not great but not terrible either. The price in the store is $5600.
I am looking for a round diamond in the 1 - 1.2 carat range, eye-clean, excellent cut, H (maybe I) color or better. My budget is $6000 for the stone.
Thanks in advance!
