2.0 Princess assistance greatly appreciated

[ArcticDuk]

Hello everyone and thank you for providing such an invaluable resource for noobies like me. I''ve spent the last two weeks reading, reading, and reading some more on this forum.
For solely the diamond, I''ve finally narrowed it down to ~2.0 Princess, G-H color, VS1-VS2 clarity with a budget of 13K if possible (I have a little extra wiggle room for a better cut).
I''m wondering if it is possible to find a diamond given these parameters that is also going to have a nice/decent cut and if so, if anyone might have any suggestions? I''ll be asking her
around the 4th of July so I have a little bit of time. Thank you again for all your support!

Welcome!

Is the budget to include the setting or just the diamond? Would you consider SI1 clarity if verified eyeclean by a trusted vendor if needed to help the budget?

Hi Lorelei,

Thank you for the quick reply! That budget is for just the diamond. I would consider SI1 like you said, if it was verified eyeclean by someone trusted, but I might still feel a little hesitant about it.

Most welcome! I will take a look and see what I can find for you.

I have had to lower the colour a bit with this first search, I don't know if you are agreeable to this and lower the weight a bit, but here are some examples

Also when you say wiggle room, I don't know if you have this much flexibility but here is a top cut 2 carater

With your budget, a 2c stone will be difficult with those specs. Not sure how much you can shift your budget but here are 2 for you to consider.

Ok, I have widened the net a bit, this one is a nicely cut diamond and has what you want for colour and clarity, ask James Allen if they could send you an Idealscope image if interested

Thanks guys,

I requested an Idealscope on this one:

http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/G-VS2-Premium-Cut-Princess-Diamond-1214562.asp

jstar - I was too late on that one as it''s no longer available, but it looks really nice on paper and would have definitely been a contender. I''ll update as soon as I get the image for some feedback if possible. I''m excited woo hoo, thanks again!

This one has potential, post the IS when you get it.
