Princess cut Budget Need Help

The information I found here is priceless. I've been researching princess cut diamonds for a little bit over 3 months now and I am figuring to make a purchase by the end of feb. My budget is 10K and I want to know if what I am looking for is in my price range. I have done several searches and I see diamonds priced from 9k-19k for what I am looking for. What I need help determing is what specs are most important when considering a princess cut. Im trying to get the biggest white diamond I can get with no visible eye inclusions. From what I understand is that an H color diamond can still appear to be white? and that SI1 should be eye clean. Below are the specs I am looking for: Can anyone tell me if I can find what I am looking for in my price range. When I do a search I end up more confused. Thanks. Ct: 1.85-2.0 Color: F-G Clarity: SI1 Cut: Very Good Once again I am not a diamond collector so a D color VVS1 diamond to me is no different to a G color SI1 diamond if I cant really notice it with my eyes. Im looking to get my girl a big stone that still looks very nice. PLEASE HELP!!! lol thanks guys and good luck in your own ventures.

Im looking for a G or better and Im also wondering what setting would enhance the visual size of the setting. Im probably leaning towards a solitare pltinum setting. Thanks and any added info is much appreciated.

onedrop Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,575 Last Post: 5/16/2009 Member Since: 8/24/2006	Hello: 1) You may get more of a response if you choose maybe two or three stones and give the specs on those stones here. 2) From what I have been able to gather with princess cuts they are no specific "ideal" standards. In a lot of cases you have to see the stones to determine whether it's for you or not. 3) Did you search "princess" here in PS? Especially within the Rocky Talk forum. A lot of folks have asked about good specs. For princesses. Good luck!! "Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching." ~ Satchel Paige
