Hi. What would be the best 1-1.2 carat diamond with a classic 6 prong setting which will still look excellent to the naked eye?
What shape diamond are you looking for?
It would be a round shape.
A well cut J-color diamond would look fantastic in a solitaire setting.
Look at these options:
Blue Nile LD12030825
Blue Nile LD12203109
They are gorgeously cut and will be very bright and brilliant in any solitaire setting you choose.
How about the fluorescence?
Fluorescence can be a bonus on J and lower colors, but it’s not necessary to have it. The diamonds will look great without it.
Do you have some I color stones that you can recommend?
Here’s what I found:
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.03-carat-i-color-si1-clarity-true-hearts-cut-sku-7334978?a_aid=dmnd1357
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.06-carat-i-color-vs2-clarity-true-hearts-cut-sku-7048539?a_aid=dmnd1357
These two have a superb cut.
Is I colour ok without fluorescence?
It is. Fluorescence is not that necessary, it’s a slight bonus, but the diamond will look great even without it.
Thank you so much for your help. I’ll go with the 7048539.
You’re welcome, I’m glad I could help.
