Do you think this is eye clean?
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.11-carat-g-color-si2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-9433553?a_aid=dmnd1357 – This stone is nicely cut but it has a large cloud on the table. It might look cloudy in person.
My goal is to get the largest eye clean diamond with the most brilliance. I’d say the brilliance is more important than size which is why I was looking at round diamonds. I definitely want an excellent or ideal cut diamond. Clarity and other traits aren’t really important if it is eye clean.
I am thinking a pavé setting with white gold or platinum. Right now, I am thinking $6k or less for the diamond and band (so maybe $5k for the diamond).
I found these diamonds:

www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.07-carat-g-color-si2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-7214231?a_aid=dmnd1357
They would look fantastic in a pave setting.
I just want to confirm that I color is unnoticeable. Obviously, if you put it right next to a D color diamond, you would probably see a difference. But is there any concern that my girlfriend or anyone would notice unless they were in the diamond industry or something haha?
I don’t think I color would be a problem. Unless you compare an I colored diamond with D colored diamond side by side, it’s alright. It’s not yellowish once it’s set.
I was also looking at this one. The specs look. Let me know 🙂
It’s a nicely cut, brilliant stone, the specs are great.
I went ahead and purchased this diamond! Thanks for all your help!
Awesome! You’re very welcome.
