Hi,
I am looking for a diamond in the 1.5-2 carat range. I don’t want it to have noticeable color to the naked eye so I’m thinking I or better and I am thinking VS1 or better for the clarity. My price range is 13-15k.
Thank you for your help.
Can you also tell me what style of setting (solitaire, halo, pave or other), metal (platinum/white or yellow gold) and shape of diamond you’re looking for? Then I’ll be happy to send you my suggestion.
I’m working on having a halo setting created and am looking for a round diamond to go in it! White 14k metal! I have been told that I need a diamond before they can completely make the setting for me.
Thank you for the information.
Just to double check, the price range you mentioned is for the stone only?
Yes!
Thank you for the confirmation.
Have a look at this diamond:

It’s very well cut, eye-clean and going to look colorless.

What do you think?
Beautiful! Is an SI1 ok? I was thinking of getting a VS2 at a minimum? With a halo is it clean to the naked eye?
Yes, I think that this SI stone is eye-clean.
But you can also check this one:

They have a little yellow in them but that’s fine because it’s zoomed in and once it’s in a halo it will be perfect right?
Color is hard to distinguish from the screen only as it can distort the colors a bit.
For the vast majority of our readers, an H color diamond will look colorless. So unless you’re extremely color sensitive, I wouldn’t worry about it.
