First off, huge thank you to the experts on this site. I can't tell you how much less stressful this whole process became after finding pricescope.
I'm looking for a stone about 0.8-0.9 ct with ideal cut, good color, etc. Favoring cut above clarity, color, and carat, I've found a bunch of great candidates - one of which seems too good to be true:
0.858ct H VS2 for $3,800
Ideal Cut (AGS)
6.09 x 6.11 x 3.76
Table 56.1%
Depth 61.7%
Crown Angle 34.9 deg
Pav Angle 40.7
ASET:
That seems like an amazing deal compared to:

http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/0.803-g-vs2-round-diamond-ags-104087405075 (BG signature H&A G VS2 0.80ct for $4,600)
http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3699006.htm (WF ACA H VS1 0.84ct for $4,600)
http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3703116.htm (WF ACA H VS2 0.85ct for $4,300)
I've always learned that if something seems to good to be true, it probably is. Is that the case here? Does it really get such a huge penalty for having a color grade of H? Or is just priced *really* well?
