Say you have a $100,000 budget (maybe up to $125k) and you want a MRB solitaire engagement ring. What diamond specs would you get to maximize value. Assume a minimum carat size of 2.5 and "average" sensitivity to color, clarity, etc.

I’d have HPD get CBI to custom cut me an H color VS or VVS in the largest I could get for that amount.
The ACA would work for me too.
Can the hypothetical budget please stretch a little more to $160k-ish? Because this is what I would get:

@Phoenix, You should buy it!
Negotiate with Phoenix for Holly, stretch the budget / payment plan...
I did see it and that is my hand! The round stone between my index and middle fingers is 5.338 (this one actually -https://www.briangavindiamonds.com/...ls/5.388-j-vs2-round-diamond-ags-104064610030 ) so you can see a significant size increase. I know that you are color sensitive and I personally can detect color pretty easily, but honestly, when I was holding that diamond, size and amazing rainbow flashes is all I saw. The diamond has a small table and my ideal angle proportions. I was completely and utterly mesmerized.Did you actually see that 8ct IRL? I know colour is subjective and I am colour-sensitive. I am just wondering how it actually looks like IRL. I've been wondering if I should upgrade to that and kill my DSS once and for all!

I have more pics and videos, but I don’t want to hijack the thread, maybe I will start a new one.
@Phoenix - Years?! It sounds like a trip to the US is in order.
Haha I wouldn’t call them model hands especially since the TX heat was playing tricks on me, but thanks! The three stone was/is mine. I will try to create a new thread in the next day or so once I consolidate the pics.Wow! You have gorgeous model hands! Is the 3-stone ring yours? It's beautiful!
Please if you would? I'd love to see.

Haha, I've seen that stone listed for several years. I might seriously consider it if I could see it IRL.
