G color vs2 diamonds.
Vs2 g color diamond.
This very often ends in the question whether one should go for a si1 diamond or a vs2 diamond.
G color diamond that has a nice si2 clarity grading with at least very good cut grading will do the job.
Interestingly the diamond color evaluation of most gem quality diamonds is based on the absence of color.
Let us have a look.
The lab created diamond has vs1 clarity and f color weighs 1 23 cts and received an ideal round cut.
The size upgrade and g color are things i have a preference for.
For example below we ve compared a 0 90 carat vs2 clarity g color asscher cut diamond on the left to a similarly sized d color asscher cut diamond on the right.
The diamond on the left has a small dark flaw right in the center.
The price point of most of these diamonds is reflected in this fact they price well not quite as low cost as the near colorless but significantly cheaper.
6 680 1 carat g vs2 excellent cut round diamond 7 580 1 carat g vs1 excellent cut round diamond if you ll click the images you ll see how equally brilliant they are but since the gem on the left is graded as vs2 it s also priced lower.
As another example this round cut 0 8 carat diamond is a vs1 clarity with an f color.
An eye clean vs2 diamond will look identical to a flawless graded diamond assuming all else is equal but will cost far less.
2 060ct g vs2 2 258ct g vs2.
Still even in a cut that displays color more obviously the difference between a g color diamond and a d color diamond is quite small.

Personally i would go for the g color larger diamond if budget permits.
A g colored diamond lies on the interesting boundary between the completely colorless d e and f color diamonds and the near colorless i and j color diamonds.
The estimate of the diamond price is only indicative the prices vary with the market and other factors.
However if you have a tighter budget the h diamond is perfect as well.
