Following up on KKJohnson's post, here's a photo of a 1.5 ct with a small halo on a size 5 finger. I wanted you to see this depiction of a real life ring because it does not have a pave shank & I'm thinking that a plain shank might better suit a woman who's said she wants "simple and elegant"
The 1.53 is a higher G color than the 1.6 J (has your girl tried on a J colored diamond, there will be a yellow tint) I also don’t like the dark streak across the stone.
Here is the ASET comparison between the 1.6 and 1.5, both have pros and cons. The 1.5 has more red which means it’s going to sparkle like crazy but it also has some black which means there is a tiny bit of light leakage (I haven’t seen it in person but others have and all say they loved it), while the 1.6 has a lot more blue throughout the stone meaning the flashes won’t be as brilliant and again that streak really bothers me.
For me the 1.53 and 2.01 are cut better than the 1.6, I like the 2.01 I color over the 1.6 J color (I color is safe for people who not color sensitive but it’s a larger stone so you might see slight color warmth in some lighting; also this is a far cry from the D/E/F you were first wanting). Lastly for the 1.53 I like the G color (will be white diamond) and even with it being Si1 the people who have seen it in person all say it is eye clean.
I still think it’s between the 1.53 and 2 ct., but then again 4K is a big price jump and that 4K could be spent on the setting instead. Can Jon not get a video comparing them all together? Also I’m wondering if he can send them to an appraiser for you to look at in person? Sometime people have had that done, they have diamonds shipped prior to purchase to view to a mediator and then whatever stones are rejected get sent back to the dealer.
Preowned is not a big deal
