My head is spinning. I never really looked into upgrading my stone until a week or so ago and there's a lot of information/resources available on PS. I know I want to get a stone from WF just in case I want to upgrade again. The stone I'm purchasing is replacing a .67 H SI1. I thought I was set on a 1 ct diamond but I honestly don't think I am anymore considering the photos I received from WF and taking into account the price difference once you hit that 1 ct mark. I don't believe I am color sensitive but we will see once I get the stone I go with and compare it to the side stones that I am keeping on my current ring for the reset with the new stone.

I attached the photos I received from WF. The .70 in the center is for color and size reference to what I currently have. I am not really sure which of the 3 I prefer the most. Realistically I'd like to spend around $4500, less if possible - I want to maximize size but prioritize cut.

Honestly, they’re all great. I prefer the J due to the color but what color are the side stones?

The J would also be my preference. I guess this H would be a tough one to swing?

H-I that’s why I’m hesitant but i figured if the color is way off I can exchange.

A tad bit. I need to think about it. I can’t decide if I want go ahead and purchase now or wait until they get a little bit more inventory in my price range.

personally i would go for 0.96 because it offers the best value, and i would not go for a k color.

You can always go with the J. Upgrade in color later if you decide you want a higher color. Definitely something to think
on.

I wouldn't go to anything lower than I color if you have had an H. You can definitely see color in a J and K. Ideally I'd start with an H, but if not, go to I color. There isn't an I color one right at your price target, so you could wait or start with something that costs more or less. I'd recommend these three:

This one looks like a great option if you could go a little above...and if not any of those ACAs would still be amazing!

I received an unexpected bonus at work last week and decided to bite the bullet and not wait. Michelle at WF is the most patient human being. I ended up going with the .92 K VS2. With WF's generous return policy, I figured if I'm not happy with the color I can exchange.

Thats great @Kh0117 ! I'm sure the bonus was well deserved! Please post pics when you get it. I'd love to hear what you think of the
color when you get it!

I'll report back! Now I can agonize on my three stone reset.

 

[Kh0117]

It’s here and I’m so glad I went for it! My current center is an H and I can’t tell the difference in color. Maybe I just don’t have the eye for it or I’m not color sensitive. Taking pictures is difficult

 

[tyty333]

Pretty! I'm not really detecting much color difference in your pics...lack of sensitivity to color can be a good thing!
