I'm trying to decide which diamond will go better with the halo ring I plan on purchasing. The ring I'll get is from Shane Co. but I'll probably end up getting the diamond from James Allen due to the fact I can get a much better diamond for the same money.
Anyways, the budget is around $6k for the diamond and I've found two I really like.
One is 1.21 carat H color SI1 as you can see here. The clarity looks really good as far as I can see in that 20x zoom. The color definitely looks a little yellowish when compared to the E-colored one, but I'm thinking if it's mounted it probably won't be noticeable.

This is the second one, 1.01 carat E color VS2. I really love how bright and clear it is. Side by side, it's no comparison it looks way better. But I'm not sure if that's a good way to judge.

I'm also thinking since it's going to be on a halo ring, those small diamonds are probably going to be much closer to H than E so maybe the E might stick out a bit too much or make other diamonds look a little yellowish?
This is the ring I want to choose. I already tried a 1 carat H SI2 "Shane Classic" diamond and it looked really nice, so I'm assuming the one from James Allen will look just as good if not better.

Also, I know this is all really subjective, so really my end goal is to get a diamond that will fit in best on this ring that will provide the best sparkle. Part of me feels like if I get the H colored one, I'll regret it by passing up the E colored one since I feel like that one is more rare and unique. But then again a slightly larger diamond might look better and sparkle more especially when it's mounted.
