Hi I’m having a bit of second thought on this diamond that’s being shipped to me from Ritani. It’s 1.9 carat, round, F color, VS2 clarity. Do you think I should give up a bit of color for higher size possibly? Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
There’s no info on the page, so I can’t look up the certificate to check the proportions and inclusion plot.
I definitely think you can go up in size for $21k. You wouldn’t even need to give up color. With something like the diamond below, you’d go up in color and down in clarity. I think the black crystal around 10 o’clock is small enough to be eye-clean on its own, but you can be doubly safe by placing it under a prong so you’ll never even see it. And it saves you $2000.
Best,
Joe
