Q&A: Looking For a 1.15 to 1.25 carat VS2 Clarity Diamond
ByRandy,
Your site is really a wealth of information – thanks so much for organizing and putting this up.
My girlfriend and I are getting engaged soon and have been talking about diamonds. She is convinced that since she is getting a white gold setting we need to look at F or G color diamonds but after reading your site it looks like we can go for an H color. Does the color of the setting really make a big difference? If we do go with white gold can I still get an H color and be safe? The diamonds we are looking at are between 1.15 and 1.25 carat and generally in the VS2 clarity range.
Thanks,
Marc
Marc,
Thanks for writing in and I am thrilled that you and your girlfriend found the site useful. You should definitely be looking at H color diamonds- with a white gold setting I would probably not recommend going to a J color but I have no problem recommending H color.
I noticed that you mention color, clarity and carat size – but you left to the most important of the 4Cs! Remember always look at the cut of the diamond as well as the other 4Cs. You didn’t mention a budget range you were looking at but here is a diamond that is a 1.2 carat H-VS2 that looks great. If it’s not within your range let me know and I will help you find one that meets your budget.
