Hi lovely people! Need your advice please. I fell in love with this pair of studs.
Size: For studs, my priority is the size/carat because I have a big/long face (lol) and I'm pretty tall. So this was perfect because it's around 6x6 mm each.
Color: At first, I was concerned about the K-L color but I'm deprioritizing this because 1. I love the yellow gold bezel setting and perhaps I do not need colorless/near colorless stones for that. Also,I'm Asian with very warm tan skin so warmer stones/color just looks better on me (I cannot wear silver or white gold).
Cut: Cut, proportions, polish, symmetry are all fine. Probably visually, they look a bit small for 1.5 ct but this is fine for me as 6x6mm is already a great size for me.
Clarity: This one is my concern. At first, I didn't care about the SI2 clarity and it looked eye clean to me (I saw them in person as well but I'm no way an expert). But after reading up a lot online, people seem to have very negative views on SI2 and how they make diamonds sparkle much less or make them not "mind-clean". One of the stones has some small clouds. On the other hand, since it's a princess cut (which is more forgiving?) plus they are studs rather than an engagement ring, perhaps SI2 is okay?
Price: The price is very good I thought, around 7K+ USD all in. If I go J color and VS clarity, the price would go to around 11+K USD. (I live outside the US and online retailers are difficult for me to buy from due to importation tax, shiping, etc.)
Do share your opinions. Should I go for it or find another pair?
