Hi everyone. I''m pretty new to diamond shopping, but I''ve spent a few weeks reading up on asscher''s on this board and am amazed by how much there is to learn. I know my girlfriend wants an asscher and I am looking for a ~2 carat stone. I tried to follow storm''s advice but would like your opinions on the first few stones that caught my eye:

My budget is ~15k, so any advice on whether I need to go down in size is appreciated. Also, any other suggestions for stones, whether through other sites or sources, is very welcomed. I''ve notices places like Union Diamond or Blue Nile have much larger selections, but no pictures, can you ask for pictures of a large number of stones?
Thanks all.
