Hi! I'm looking for an engagment ring and could use some advice on one I've picked out.

My requirements are eye-clean, J color or better, at least 2 carats, and an ideal cut. I'd like to keep the diamond under 17,000. I'm going to put it in this setting:

This diamond caught my eye:

The Holloway cut was 1.5, and based on what I've read it seems the medium blue fluorescence will pair well with the J color. Do you all think that's a good find?

That looks fine.

I think you could do lots better on price (or size) though if your requirement is well cut, eye clean J.

The pricescope search is acting funny so I didn't get a chance to look very much but here are two that may be good.

You'd need to get an idealscope image of them and assurance they are eye clean. I'd recommend using IDJs best price program and having them do it.

Those 2 are just 2 of many many many that could be satisfying.

Here is another from JA.

Also if you just want "Eye Clean" you could look at SI2s which would could give you LOTS of bang for your buck.

Just note that the report of the diamond you posted says it has medium blue flourescence (which may or may not be desirable to you).
I've never seen flourescence in person so can't comment on it but it sounds like a pretty cool feature.

Other than that I agree w/ pvc, you should probably get an idealscope image of it and make sure its eye clean.
