Advice / Opinions on stone needed

[Jerel]

Hello all,

I am looking at round stones in the G/H, 1.2-ish range for an engagement ring. I would like it to be visually clean, with a max budget in the $7,500-$8,000 range.

Here is an example of what I am looking at.

Any advice or particular stones would be greatly appreciated.

I have to run right now but will help later...that one you've picked is not good because clarity grade
is based on clouds not shown.

Something like this would be my choice

Wow, that stone is beautiful. And their store is close to my work.

Oh, you're lucky...do call and make an appointment. Their stones are beautiful and the folks there
are just lovely. They'll be happy to show you different stones that met your criteria and you can
check out different settings too.

Their stones are Super Ideal AGS000 H&A pre-vetted stones. That means they have ideal light
performance (Idealscope and ASET images to back it up), H&A (images to back it up) and fall
within a strict set of standards to be considered A Cut Above (ACA) stone. They have lots of
documentation on their site if you need more info.

Will do. The only down side to that is I would have to pay sales tax, instead of somewhere like James Allen.

Any other opinions?
