John Y asked:

I’ve learned that color and clarity are both important when setting the value of a diamond, but it’s very expensive to buy a high grade diamond. So I like to know what people prefer to buy, a high grade is clarity and low grade in color? or high in color and low in clarity? And which is better, a diamond color/clarity that is D/SI2 or a diamond color/clarity H/VVS2?
