Hi all,
I'm thinking of upgrading again. I don't want to post links to the diamonds I'm thinking about because I don't want them snatched. But trust that they are from an awesome PS vendor and great grading.
So the difference between the two I'm thinking of is .3mm ( .26 ct difference) and everything else is the same (cut, clarity, color). Currently, I have a 7.0 mm round ideal cut. I realize that the cushion will face up smaller than the round for the ct wt. So my current diamond is roughly in the middle of the two (in regard to mm). The price difference is about $1500 between the cushions. What would you all do? Would I see the size differnce? Should I save the $1500 and not get the bigger cushion? I do have to add that my current diamond did do the magical shrinking soon after I got it. But will a .15 either way be noticable? BUT from the side will a .2 - .5 increase in ctwt be noticable (because I do like the side views)? Or would it overall still look like the same size as my round diamond?
I do want a cushion more than anything!!! So that isn't the question. But ultimately should I go as big as possible for 1500 more for a .15 face up difference but a .5 increase in wt?
Uggh....if anyone could tell me what to do I would really appreciate it.
I guess I don't know what I would see as difference (other than the cut). Would it be more overall blingy????
