My future fiance and I are looking at rings and I can't decide what color or clarity diamond I want! (which also affects the size, I am currently looking at .5-.7 ct princess cuts) I'm curious as to what the average clarity and color is that people choose? Please post pictures for comparison :)
Looking forward to seeing all your lovely rings!
I can't get a good picture of this ring to save my life, but it's an E, VS1. There's no visible spots/feathers, and the stone is VERY sparkly. The dark spots you might see are due to the cut - the oval tends to have a 'bowtie' effect.
@KristenGotMarried: Your ring is beautiful! I just read about the bowtie effect since I hadn't heard of it until a few days ago, I guess its the effect of a really good cut :)
@Ms.GoodEarth: I love your ring! It's unique :) it looks perfect on your finger
@OMFGitsJozLOL: Hey, just as an FYI, if you PM me, my FI and I own a jewelry store and have a Lucida (princess-like) Tiffany and Co diamond ring for sale. It is VVS and maybe an E? I can't remember. Stunning and gorgeous. I don't usually mention my job but it really is a gorgeous ring.
This princess cut is GORGEOUS! It's a GIA certified E, SI1, .72 carat- Excellent Ideal Cut/Polish and Very Good Symmetry for sale for $2100. The band is 18k gold with .2 carats of diamonds. Message me if you are interested.
Mine is F colour, I-2 clarity
Here's a regular pic on my hand and a pro pic from my e-photos:
@OMFGitsJozLOL: Mine is G, SI2 and "good" cut but it's an EGL certification. I got it independently appraised and everything agrees with the GIA certification except maybe for the clarity. I don't see inclusions and it's still nicely sparkly.
VSI, D color, 1 ct. asscher cut on a Tacori band. (wow, that SO didn't shrink! I'm sorry)
O.9 ct, color H, clarity VS1
There are no visible inclusions, and color appears perfectly white to the untrained eye
I think the point where they start to appear yellow is usually a a J so of you are on a budget, I wouldnt really go for d-e-f. The price goes up significantly and you won't notice a difference, really.
I would go for colors g-h-i, clarity no les than VS1 and excellent cut their will e super sparkly. And in that range, chose the biggest carat size you are comfortable with in your budget. Some people will consider ir white upo color J, personally I do notice most of J's to be slightly yellow.
I have also heard that if there is a slight flouresence, J will appear whiter
I apologise for the size of the pic
@OMFGitsJozLOL: My stone is F color, SI1 clarity:
If you're curious what other people are buying, this page at Blue Nile is fun to stalk:

@OMFGitsJozLOL: mine is F VS2...i was looking to balance both the carat/quality with the price :p i have very petite fingers though (size 3).
sorry if the images are unclear, these are the only ones i have in this computer.
Mine is a D color (colorless), and VS clarity. It is 1 carat center stone with almost a half carat of diamonds on the band. My internet is being funny and it's not letting me shrink...sorry!

To be honest I don't know the clarity and all that...but it's 1 and 3/4 C together...round center, squarish round on halo.

@allergicbee: I am not a lover of princess cuts, but that setting is exactly what I want!! Where is it from?
@Kenic315: Your setting looks exactly like the one we are buying for me :) lovelovelove it
You all have such beautiful rings! 
I will probably purchase a diamond from James Allen since they have actual photos.. I really enjoy that aspect of the website (maybe a little too much 
)
Mine's a little lower on the colour spectrum. I have a J SI1 0.59 carat.
Mine's a round 1.36ct H SI2 clarity. Eye clean from the top but if I look really hard I can see an inclusion from the side.
G, Si2, .70 Round. I wanted YG so he probably could have went lower on the color scale w/o any notice, but I love what I have.
1 Carat Total (Enagement Ring Only .5 Carat Centre and .25 Carat sides)
F Color, VVS1 Round Ideal Cut
1.23 Carat, SI1 Clarity, D Color, it's a round Cut with a square halo...I love how sparkly it is!! 
.72, D, vs2 (i think... not 100% sure on that one..) and the cut is very good. The stone is radiant cut.
Mine is an heirloom diamond and an Old European Cut (just to throw something different into the mix :)). It's 1.68 ct, VS1, M color (typical of OECs). I really don't notice much warmth except in certain lighting. I don't think most jewelers carry modern cuts in M color, but I love my OEC.
@ejay15: I love OEC diamonds. Your ring is beautiful :)
Loving all this ring porn!!!
@capergrrl: Thank you!! Yours is beautiful, too! Actually...both of yours are! hehe
Ahh, the ring porn never gets old, does it?? Love them all, ladies!
