I just got 1.50 studs, and everything said here is absolutely true....cut is the most important aspect. On close inspection you can tell my studs are I1 .For color I went with an F,and I cant see much a difference against my G color e- ring....even though due to the unbelievable sparkle (thanks to the cut)they look extremely white when on.THATS when I see the color difference. I compromised clarity since I wanted a not so small stud for everyday use without having to pay top $$$$, but I was adamant about getting an excellent cut
Now I know that I personally prefer a bit of warmth in my stones,so I could have saved even more had I gone with an H-I color. I consider them a great everday size, and I didnt pay an arm & a leg for them so another reason for me to adore them
wow, you went with an I1, i admire you, something maybe i'd want to do too.
btw, i really like the 3 prong, there's somethin unique about it
Aqua it wasnt until I fell for them that I learned they were I1s. More the reason not to get so caught up in the specs....although BELIEVE me IF I had the disposal income to match my taste Id go for toyally eye clean ! LOL These as you ladies say here "sang to me".
We just splurged on my new upgrad e-ring not even a mth ago, so I was on my own buying these babies
As a matter of fact my dh hasnt even seen them yet hehehe

I think on studs, I prefer 4 prong.
Great way to save money! No one gets close enough to your ears to notice the difference.
BTW, could I ask the stats on your ring? (carat weight?) It's gorgeous. How thick is the band and what ring size do you wear?

It is a 1.92 G SI1 , I wear a size 7 and I did choose a thick band.
I know this is not recent but it is an excellent education on how to decide ...I just got 1.50 studs, and everything said here is absolutely true....cut is the most important aspect.
