Greetings, all.
I have read that for a round brilliant diamond, an H color, or even an I, will still appear perfectly white once set and going higher, you are paying for something that you won't be able to appreciate. I also understand that there is no reason other than personal preference to go above a clarity grade that will produce an eye clean diamond, usually S1. But in my case, I originally had a budget of $10,000, but have found at WF a 1-ct ACA H-SI1 stone that is eye clean for $6,600, including setting. What I am trying to figure now is whether I should be satisfied that I got out of it cheaper than I anticipated or if it would be worth it to improve on color or clarity. I would go larger, but worry that anything larger than 1 ct will look too big on my girlfriend's small hands.
This is my first time posting to this forum, but I have read it frequently and know that there are many of you who can offer me a helping hand, and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
