Hi all,
I'm very new to the diamond world and while I've done some research there's clearly more to learn than I can absorb in the time frame I'm looking at. I've viewed a few stones in person from retailers and a non-B&M type establishment. I was thoroughly unimpressed with all B&M stones I've seen. I've also and been advised about a couple others that I haven't seen in person.
I was wondering if anyone out there could provide some guidance on these stones for which I have the GIA numbers. I'm not sure if it's possible for you to tell from the reports, but if so, what would you expect I should pay (ballpark) for these?
I know she would like to stay between 1.5 and 2 ct. with cut and color as the most important qualities.
Also, as you can see some reports are from 2011. Should the report dates concern me? Are there any other red flags I should be concerned about?
Thanks!

(Saw in person but the one above seemed a bit nicer and has a better cut)
