The loupe that is used in the industry is triplet 10X.
Eye-clean is SI 2 and up, as Pearl_dreams said.
The color can be determined only when the diamond is placed face down, never when it is in the setting.
Higher color is always better than clarity.
A white gold setting is better for high color range and yellow gold for lower colors.
The best way to clean diamond jewelry is to boil it for 5 minutes in water with some liquid (dishwashing) detergent.
Pearl_dreams, your diamond must be an "old cut," right?
