The main consensus is that you can do VS2 and H color and bigger carat because unless you have an H next to a G or F, it’s very hard to tell the difference. Even then, most people don’t notice the difference. If you have to choose, I’d go over color over clarity. As long as the diamond has good brilliance and the fire sparkles, it doesn’t really make a whole lot of difference whether you go H vs F/G or VS2 vs VVS2. So perhaps forgo those and get a bigger diamond with better cut.

I agree. One thing is, a lot of the sparkle comes from the girdle and table. If the light doesn’t reflect back properly, you get reduced sparkle/bling.
