Hello! As many here - I've been lurking on this site for quite some time. I'm planning on propping the question very soon. I have a budget around $9k and I'm looking for a 1.5ct< round diamond. Through a lot of research and speaking to consultants and wholesalers - Color H or I and Clarity SI1 or SI2 (must be eye clean). I'm trying to replicate the Tiffany Solitaire.
This is some I found
1.63 ct, I-SI2, $8387 - GIA # 2297651671
1.64 ct I-SI2, $8800 - GIA # 1283829466 (this actually was found by a local diamond consultant based out of San Diego)
1.61 ct H-SI2, $9300 - GIA # 5192321313 (this actually was found by a local diamond consultant based out of San Diego)
1.60 ct I-SI2, $6500 - GIA # 5171089359
Thoughts? I recently found about the HCA and to best tell how a diamond would "perform" and ideally would want a great performing diamond.
I appreciate anyone's input in this stressful decision
