I always work with VS1\/2 diamonds, but I promise you, this ring is dazzling.  On the other hand (ha!), if you need a different size ring or if you&#8217;re a clarity snob like me, the manufacturer and I would happily recreate this design with diamonds that I pick out specially for you. It would be a lot of work to find 10 or more well-matched diamonds, but the ring would still cost less than a Ferrari!
