Most welcome!

Budget creep alert!

Ran into this one on another thread and it sure seems nice. With a stone this size will I be running into color issues at an "H"?

Stone, I am still waiting on the IS for your suggestion from JA.

I know it''s not H&A, but do you think this may be worth the incremental investment?

H should not be a problem, plenty white for most people.

Everything looks good to me for that ACA.

Is it worth it, depends on if you want a H&A or not and what are your other priorities. Definitely some bragging rights for an over 2c stone.

Yeah, just running the numbers to see what the price differential would be from about $20K for a 1.8 ct H&A G color to 2 ct. Sure isn''t much between these two sizes.

Stone - here is the IS on the JA diamond you suggested earlier. Thoughts? I attached the .JPG

H color...still quite white and will be fine.

Actually, this is the stone the IS should be from:
