If you can't go with both size and clarity, i would go with a little more size and less clarity 100 out of 100 times and i know she would want that. It can be embarrassing showing off a piece of salt. Don't do that to her and make her say but look at the "Clarity"!

Who said a grain of salt? I would rather sell someone a nicely cut, SI-1, SI-2 stone with H,I color, smaller stone then a badly cut, I-1,I-2, H-I colored 2 carat stone. The smaller stone will look bigger and better. If someone is more concerned about a hunk of large junk on their fingers then I can get 100's of shitty stones that are large.Combining all of them is the tricky part, and unless you want to spend 50-60k, then something has to be compromised.Pre-ban 1-0 (+1.00)

And what clarity does Wayne now suggest? And what about different inclusions? You would rather have a 2+ carat stone with a fried egg in the middle then an eye-clean stone b/c it's bigger?Originally posted by wayne1218Pre-ban 1-0 (+1.00)

The last time i bought a ring i looked at 2 with the same exact size and look. One for 3 grand, one with clarity for 6 grand. I couldn't see a difference and i went with a tad bigger diamond than the 2 show for 4 grand and less clarity and still thought it looked JUST AS GOOD as the 6 grand ring. Unless you are an expert, they won't know!Comment

You talked about " It can be embarrassing showing off a piece of salt". My point is that a smaller carat weight can appear large b/c of light refraction. No one looks at a ring and says wow that 3/4 carat, or 1 carat. They look at how it appears. How much fire.Pre-ban 1-0 (+1.00)

Clarity enhanced stones "look good" Wayne. Are they smart to buy? (since you've purchased several rings and have friends that buy also)Pre-ban 1-0 (+1.00)

If you have 2 stones, both 1 carat, color same, clarity same, what will affect the price and appearance the most is cut. A poorly cut stone vs a well cut stone will appear totally different. Very hard to tell color from afar, clarity from afar (unless I-1,I-2 stones),and size, but cuts you can tell immediately b/c of sparkle and fire.
Savage, if you want any more info, get my email and I would be more then happy to help you in anw way I can.Pre-ban 1-0 (+1.00)
