[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's eye clean and the cut is good, go for bigger.

Some diamonds can have perfect stats but an ugly cut. If one sparkles more- go for that.[/quote]

Sparkle is brilliance and yes it comes from a high quality cut. Some brilliance looks better in different shapes. For example all other things equal a round Diamond will have more brilliance than an emerald cut, or oval cut, or cushion cut. It is well worth it to invest in an excellent cut but the entire composition of the ring really does need to be weighed individually ans in context with its presentation. Yes, the cut that will provide the fire and sparkle, the “brilliance” and clarity are the two things that I think make a noticeable difference. I’d go down in size for that. are OP didn’t specify the exact GIA symmetry term, so I’m assuming it is Excellent when he said Ideal.

Strong ratings:

Color 
> G (colorless)

Cut (symmetry)
Excellent > Very Good

Carat 
2>1

Clarity 
> VVS2 (very very slight inclusions)

Best shape for “brilliance”, in order of best to next best:
Round 
Princess/Square

You can move the scale in each of those categories to play. Every Diamond is unique too. So uou could have the highest classification dor each element above, but maybe instead of it being flawless it has inclusions. What type of stone is it and which setting is it going into? My excellent cut VVS2 has a slight inclusion but it was hidden from the setting (pave) and and didn’t take away from the symmetry/cut/brilliance. This is why it is good to see and compare stones too. See why it looks like with a naked eye, see what it looks like dirty. My stone will sparkle in the night because it picks up and refracts any light beautifully.

All of this advice is for OP’s stone, a round shaped, 1.5-2ct, going on a solitaire band.
