Hello everyone,
I live in Vancouver Canada and i am planning to propose in about 3 weeks. I am having a custom ring made and I am very anxious about selecting a diamond. After seeing various diamonds i am about to go with this one:
cut: ideal
polish: ideal
symmetry: ideal
color : G (1.5)
clarity: SI1
carat: 1.06
The diamond seems relatively clean under magnification, especially after viewing several SI2 diamonds. It looks eye clean to me and under magnification there only seems to be a small hazy spot in the middle. My question is: is G color considered not good? I had a really hard time distinguishing between F and a G diamonds of the same size and I even had to look hard to distinguish between the E and the G. Once mounted will it look colourless?
The jeweller is charging me $9500 cdn for the diamond. After looking at various websites, such as spence etc etc this does seem like a fair price. What do you think?
