I ran in to a local jeweler to get a ring polished, and the wait time was going to be short enough to stay while they did it. They weren't terribly busy so I thought I would have a little fun trying on rings. First of all I discovered that if I ever upgrade my ring (round brilliant in a 4 prong platinum setting) it will need to go up in size to about 1 1/2 carats. As size increases, does clarity and color also need to go up? Stay the same? I have spent some time on Whiteflash playing around with the search feature there. My current (original) diamond is a G. I would think I would want to stay at a G. Would I be ok with an H? Happier with an F??
What about clarity? I think SI1 would want to be as low as I could go. Thoughts?
Ideal cut goes without saying.
Last, A Cut Above or Expert Selection?
Now, I am nowhere near the point of pulling the trigger (and we may never do it) so I am not talking about particular stones. It would just be nice to nail down the stats some to get a good idea of what this dream diamond will cost. Also, is there a best time to buy a diamond (regarding prices)?
I would love to hear your thoughts!!!
