Hi all,
I know this is not my first post, but I figured since I first request help from the forum, I've learned a lot more about what I am looking for. I really would appreciate any help, as I think I may have run into a wall, and will just have to shell out a bit more money to get what I want.
From a spec's perspective here is what I am looking for:
-------
Carat: 1.5-1.65
Color: G - I (I actually already purchased a beautiful rose gold setting, so based upon what helpful members such as Gypsy has said, I am willing to go up to an I.)
Clarity: VS1 - VS2
Polish/Symmetry : Excellent to Very Good (if possible, I'd be flexible to go to good if it had a good ASET/Diamxray)
Budget : $9,000 - $11,500
This might be the hardest part. I believe I am looking for a "Cushion Brilliant", (I think?) From what I've seen on the websites, I am looking for the following patterns:
- Hearts & Arrows, something that is square and resembles a round cut pattern (Like GOG/ Tiffany Novo)
- This 8 Main pavilion (Pattern #3)

Unfortunately, its been extremely hard to find a diamond. Hearts & Arrows seem like will be too expensive for the specs that I would like, and its been almost impossible to find the facet pattern that I've been looking for.
I had an online jeweler that was able to find a bunch of Cushion Brilliants with the pattern I liked, with great specs, but when the ASET came around there was little to no red.
Anyway, I would really appreciate any help. Feel free to be blunt (i.e. Your filter is too narrow; Your budget is too low for the specs you want). I'd much rather have a real understanding of what I can afford with my budget than hunting for something that is out of my reach.
Thanks ahead of time.
