So I have a dilemma. I've found the perfect cushion stone, 1.3 carat, vvs2, ex cut, very nice table/depth/LW ratio. No flourescence. Its perfect except the color is an I. If it was an H I would go for it but the I is throwing me. I'm going through Ritani and doing the in store preview before i buy so that I can see it in person first, but I wanted some opinions. I know that cushions show color better than rounds in the first place...in the second place...I am very color sensitive. I would hate to see warmth in the diamond. I know a lot of people like it and it is majorly a personal subjective decision, but I specifically do not like a tint. Also the diamonds in the band I'll be getting will be higher color and I don't want that to make the center stone more obvious.
My real question is, should I sacrifice a little size and go to an F or a G in color? I would be looking at 1-1.1 ct stones instead of the 1.3 to stay within price range because I still need all the other ex specs. May go down to vs1/vs2 clarity as well. Not willing to go to SI range.
Anyway, I am a size 3.5 finger...Wondering if the ring will still look to be a good size at the 1 ct range with good color? Or if I should go big or go home and stick with my I 1.3?
Also should mention I'm doing a platinum setting which makes me more worried warmth will be apparent.
Thanks all!!
