I’ve been looking for the past couple weeks now for a 2+ carat ACA and have currently landed on this one: https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-4066981.htm

We thought we would stick with a VS2 but in seeing the price difference and getting confirmation from Becca at WF that this diamond is eye clean and inclusions could only be seen at 10x magnification I think it could be a winner! Thoughts?!

This is the other one we are considering but she did say she could find small black and white inclusions at 6” if she tilted the diamond back and forth and knew where to look. That made me kind of nervous.

But she did say both were beautiful. On Wednesday she will take a photo and video of just the two of them but until then was interested in what the PS crew had to say!

The diamond closest to her palm is the 2.065 I have on hold, the one next to it is the 2.114. The other two are out of the running for now because they are VS2 and more $$ and I’m ok with SI1 if I can’t see the inclusions.
 
@kal2021 I prefer the 2.065 I SI1, however, I really don’t like girdle reaching feather inclusions which both diamonds have.

I know that this one is above budget, but if I recall correctly, you can trade in your existing diamond, so in the end the or of pocket cost may be comparable: https://www.briangavindiamonds.com/...s/2.064-h-si1-round-diamond-ags-1040381680012

And I still really like this stone: https://www.briangavindiamonds.com/...2.228-j-vs1-round-diamond-ags-bl-104102612058

The flouro will definitely help the color and you can ask for a pic comparison.

Thanks for chiming in! The first Brian Gavin one is too expensive and I don’t want a blue or anything under I color. WF is actually taking my diamond!
 
@Dancing Fire Since you were so nice to comment on my other threads, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on what I've posted above? I realize neither diamond is "perfect", but I am hoping they are still great options! :)

The 2.06ct is a well balanced stone.

Awesome! I prefer the 2.06. I would ask that WF places the prong near the feather, but not on the feather to protect the stone.

Great advice thank you!
 
Photo and video of the two diamonds. The 2.065 is on the left. She can’t see any inclusions without magnification on that one. Definitely my top choice right now! 5235279A-1BB9-42CA-9017-B9158CB851CC.jpeg
 
Video too large to upload
 
@kal2021, I'm not an expert but I think the 2.06 is a lovely diamond! How exciting to be getting a 2 carat ACA.

It looks like a beautiful diamond.
 
Just pulled the trigger on the 2.065 in a Vatche U-113 platinum setting! I will be back in a few weeks when it arrives with photos! Thanks everyone for your help!
