looking to set it on a tiffany style knife edge plat

budget is about $6000-7000 for the rock, obviously the lower the better, I think 1.15-1.2 is the sweet spot for this range.

I+ (does anyone think I is too low?)
SI1+ (eye perfect)
Cut: Excellent-Ideal

does anyone have suggestions? heres a few im looking at now

Any input would be greatly appreciated! thanks
 
I would skip on the first one...table size is too large at 62%.

Second on is scoring a 3.0 on HCA We usually look for a score of 2 or under.

Number 3 stone should be a nice stone. Need to ask for aset/idealscope.

Number 4 stone is an ACA and should be very nice. If you think you/she may ever want to trade up then this would be my
choice.

I dont think an I colored stone is too low but I'm not color sensitive. Have you seen any well cut I colored stones?
If not, do you have a Jareds near by where you can go checkout their Peerless line to see different colors of well
cut stones.

Also this video may help if you havent seen it. (covers d-J colored stones)

Thanks for the feedback! I did go to a local jewlery store (spence here in toronto) to scope out the color differences and I could not tell from even J unless under a idea conditions, (white background).

The video you linked to helped out very much too.

Just curious, what would be the ideal table size for this size diamond?
