Everyone has been schooling me on this site - i've been lurking, learning, and being a studious boy trying to absorb as much as I can before buying a stone. Not long ago, I took a leap. Bought the largest stone my budget would allow while trying to stay as true to the teachings of the cut kings and queens on this blessed site.
It's beautiful, from what I can tell but i'm pretty much a diamond virgin so
Here's the thing, i'm not sure if this is common but after the stone was purchased, I had buyer's remorse and started searching again to see if I made the right choice. This feels wrong and sort of like an illness
I wrote to the vendor who seemed nice enough in the beginning to inquire about a stone I recently found. He wrote back that i'd have to be nuts to want this stone over the one I purchased because of the proportions. Now, the stone I purchased wasn't perfect either-shallow with a tinge of brown. HCA was 1.8 vg/vg/vg/ex but that was because of spread. I get it. The new stone was ex/ex/ex/vg hence, the reason why I wrote back asking for an aset/idealscope image. He tells me there is no image available and that he thinks my "judgment is out of whack" (This is a vendor on PS so i'm not going to completely dismiss it but it still stings )
Anyway, regardless, i've done some searching. I want the clear opinions that only PSers can provide. I have so much trust in people that i've never met but somehow it doesn't seem wrong. I've loved you from afar.
So here goes. I've found two other stones within the same price range, one more included and costs slightly more and the other just a hair smaller.
Disclaimer: I know NONE of these are perfect and probably wouldn't even be considered by most on here and the one I purchased is very spready which i'm ok with but please let's not forget that i'm still putting myself through school and I like her so much that I need to put a ring on it.

I don't understand why this is so offensive to him... it's not so bad compared to the one I purchased (the first one) because its spready just like the first. The only downside is the fact that I went from si1 to si2. HCA is much better imo. This one doesnt have a 30day return policy which worries me but I can get the same stone on another site for about 200 more
Welp, I give it to God and PSers. Thank you, to whomever actually sat through this.
