Done the research...need the expert eye

[Sdrumm]

Newbie here...so I apologize if this is redundant to other posts, but here is my situation. Looking to buy a diamond for engagement ring. 1.5ct, Princess Cut, around $10K. I know that cut is most important but have considered all the factors. Based on research, this is about what I am seeing is my max quality for my budget:

Carat - 1.55
Color - G
Clarity - VS1
Table - 62-68% (generally seeing 66%)
Depth - 64-75% (generally seeing 74.3%)
Girdle - Thin to Medium
Sym - Good to Very Good
Polish - Good to Very Good

If anyone out there can confirm this is about the best I can do or has any other info (including something I might be missing), I would greatly appreciate it!!

looks good!

i would not rule out lower clarity either. there are some great eye clean ''si'' clarity diamonds out there that a worth looking for.

I was going to say the same thing as Belle.
I would drop to an eye clean SI stone so that you can make sure to get that ideal cut and color that you want.
good luck

Thanks Belle and Gonzo! I''m going to keep digging, but it is nice to know that I am on the right track!
