Hi,
Big fan of your website. It’s doing wonders for guys like me.
I would like your help though. Specifically over these two diamonds
1.32 carat – H color – VS2

1.5 Carat – I color – VS1

Personally I’m in favor of 1.5 carat but it looks a bit milky.
I’m also doubtful of 1.5 carat because it almost seems like a case of too good to be true.
Why is it priced so similar when it looks like they are about the same clarity/color when I look at them.
Much appreciated if I can hear thoughts on this.
Kind regards
The 1.5 I VS1 doesn’t look milky to me. However, the color looks lower on the I spectrum, closer to a J. Lower color is usually the trade-off when the clarity is higher than you’d expect for the price.
I think something like the diamond below would keep you at the same price, color, and optimal proportions as the 1.32 H VS2, but make the jump to 1.5ct. The feathers across the table should be eye-clean.
