Hi PSers,
Can you help me understand the visual difference (without using a loupe, just with the naked eye) between a round brilliant ACA and expert selection? I'm definitely still learning but just comparing the actual diamond image, ASET, and ideal scopes that the website shows, it all looks fairly similar. Is it worth paying the premium for the ACA or is this difference between mind clean (ACA) and eye clean (expert selection)? Also not sure if it matters but the stone I would be considering would be 2 to 2.5 CT.
Also, if I wanted to just do it right and go with an ACA, how do you pick between the stones when they are already given this type of stamp of approval? Is it then just finding what works best with your budget and how sensitive you are to color?
In terms of color, what is the lowest that one could go in a larger stone to still be worn with a platinum setting? Would a J and below be too warm as I've heard that larger stones show more coloring?
I appreciate the help! Thanks in advance!
