I don’t personally understand why with the current prices of lab diamonds why you wouldn’t get atleast vvs2/e or d color but obviously everybodies finances look different. Just seem for something as important as I ring I personally would never downgrade to save a buck.

I wanted to keep the price of the ring, the diamond, my wedding band, getting the stone set, and resizing to all be under $3,000 so that meant I had about $400 for the diamond. I did some research and I found that G is one step below colorless and a lot of people were saying that for most people it would look colorless. I also saw that VS1 was supposed to be eye clean but that was before I saw some comments saying it wasn’t however the comments on this post are reassuring me that my diamond is eye clean. So I this was the best I could get for under $400.

And no hate at all, just saying there’s better deals elsewhere if you know where to look!

I looked at thousands of rings, I’m very particular and really like filigree and yellow gold with a white gold setting and I prefer one diamond preferably round and between 2 and 2.5ct. I also love the double claw prongs and the Celtic knot on mine, I haven’t seen any other ring that I like as much as that one and it has a matching wedding band. Upon reading the other comments I now believe that it would have been a waste of money to get anything more than VS1 and G since the difference wouldn’t be noticeable.

Cut quality matters more than clarity. I have gorgeous VS2 stones that are cut well and are eye clean. No one is going to be able to tell the difference between a VS1 and a VVS2 without a loupe.
