[nani565]

Hello! I am looking to get a new stone, I currently have a 1.03 I color I1 clarity stone and am looking to upgrade to a 1.2-1.5 carat, at least H color and SI1-VS2 clarity stone. I really want a diamond with gorgeous cut so I can get the most sparkle! I also do not want to spend more thank 9K. I found the following 2 stones and was wondering what if anyone could give me advice on them or point me in the direction of stones that meet my criteria and have ideal cut! thanks!

Looks good to me. Is the SI1 eye-clean?

Is the budget for the stone only or with the setting?

That is just for the stone, I already have a setting that I will be using, I have attached a picture of it I am not sure if the SI1 is eye clean, I just started looking and have not contacted the vendor to ask questions!

Ok. Have you check with your jeweler if the setting can take in a bigger stone and by how much?

These might looks good too if eye-clean. Ask for an idealscope image and if eye-clean if you are interested.
