Hi @freedom2016 ! I know you had a K diamond before and hated the tint, but have you seen a lower color ACA in person (J or K?) Or maybe an I?
If it is a 2 ct you really want, I definitely wouldn't settle for something much smaller unless I planned to do another upgrade. And I wouldn't sink a lot into a setting until I knew I had the "final" center stone!
I have a 2ct K ACA that is now the center of a 3 stone with .70 K sides. It took me several years and upgrades to get there. I had a standard 6-prong setting that allowed me to just replace the head each time. It was my dream size center and I wore it as a solitaire until I could afford the sides I wanted. I love love LOVE my ring!
I'm not saying go down to a K, but maybe lower ACA colors are something to consider? I can't wait to see what you get!
