I am searching for a truely great stone to be set in http://www.tacori.com/2586rd6. The qualifications I've been searching on are:
around 1 ct
greater than H
VS2 or better
Sym/Pol EX/EX
I have a few chosen as of now but wanted some opinions on them. I chatted with a James Allen person and they told me they liked the most expensive one(of course). The cheaper stones obviously move up my timeline but I don't want to sacrifice quality just to propose sooner. I am trying to have a ring that could become a family heirloom so I have no issues waiting longer to have a better stone. As of now I have a budget set of 6k for the stone.
1.11 ct

I had a favorite of these picked out but I saw a picture of a more octagonal Asscher and immediately loved it. Should that be something I'm concerned with in this size or will it be a moot point when it is set?
Thanks!
