Please help me find a diamond

I live in Sweden and a friend of my will go to US tomorrow. I am going to order a diamond and she will pick it up.
I will order from the internet and I neep help.

I would wan't a 0.3 brilliant. D-F, IF-vvs1. Ideal cut and certification.
One that has the best fire and scintillation for a round brilliant diamond.
I wan't onte that my jeweler would be quite impressed with the light return and qualite.
It's also important that it's not a conflict diamond.

Is this a good diamond (I now it's a vvs2 =(). Can you found a better to a better price?

My budget is 700-1300$

Thank you!

Hi!

For me the quality is more importante than the size. Here in Sweden we usually don't have so big diamonds in our rings as in the US. The jeweller recommended a stone D-F, IF-vvs and with a good cut. Some jeweller will not accept diamonds with lower value.
 
Is this a good diamond?

Reposted from Jewellery forum: Here is my post from the jewellery forum (OP wrote yesterday) reiterating options:

HI:

Welcome.  May I ask what your budget is?  I ask because I too have been looking for stones in this size range (starting at .30 points), D or E color, IF or VVS1 clarity, ideal cut. The prices I have found are not lower than the Blue Nile stone you posted a link to, which, incidentally, is a VVS2. I do not know the origin of these stones (regarding conflict free diamonds...)

Nice Ice has a .33 E VVS1 AGS cert: (first stone on list).
http://www.niceice.com/privatereserve/reserve4.htm

Whiteflash has two stones, .30 E VVS1 and .39 D VVS1 in their Expert Selection category, both AGS cert:

Good Old Gold has a .37 D IF H & A with a GIA cert:

http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/3776/

And a few in James Allen's virtual lists I did not post.......

ETA:  Dutton Diamonds has a Canadian Diamond (non conflict), Cut by Infinity, . 36 E VVS2, AGS (0) cert:

HI:

Ellen: the ES diamonds at WF were found by searching their site. I cannot explain the GOG blank screen, I found the stones last night....having searched on previous occasions.....maybe in the cutting and pasting from one forum to another?????. I guess I should have checked each and every link for viability after the cut/paste but alas I did not....sorry....

Ellen: The rush because I have a friend that is in USA right now until thursday so she can take the diamond with her to Sweden. If I order and they send the package to Sweden I have to pay +38% in taxes and customs. So a diamant that cost 1200 will cost over 1750 dollar (with freight).

My bank sad that bank wire to US will take one week. And it's to long time. Just when I thougt that I can't order, whiteflash sad that it would be ok with Paypal and it will take only one day maximum.

I can have this for 1166 dollar
What do you think about this?
