Hi all,
Thanks for the great response last week. Alas, the diamond I wanted was sold before I got to it!
Here are some runner ups:
look here
SuperbCert
1.3
VS2
K
Medium Blue Flourescence
Depth: 61.0
Table: 55
Crown Angle: 34.3
Crown Height: 14.8
Pavil. Angle: 40.9
Pavil. Depth: 43.2
BS: VH VH VH
HCA: 1.3 EX EX VG VG
$4885
I talked to Barry at SC and he told me it was eye clean and white facing
GOG
look here
1.21
VS1
J
Faint Flourescence
Depth: 60.9
Table: 55
Crown: 34.3
Pavil: 40.7
BS: VH VH VH
HCA: 0.8 EX EX EX VG
Isee2 9.7
$5538
Again, eye clean and white face.
I'm most worried about the color, I think K is really really pushing it.
However, the SC stone is almost $800 less and is a good bit bigger!
My total budget (ring and setting) is $6500. So if I go the SuperbCert diamond, I could potentially get a really nice Tiffany style setting (not the much cheaper 6 prong settings).
I guess its pretty obvious where my priorities lie. I want the biggest, most brilliant diamond for under 6k as long as I can't see any occlusions and the untrained eye can't tell that's its colored.
Also, it seems like SuperbCert is generally cheaper (~500) than GOG? Any ideas why?

I feel really bad, because Jonathan has spent a good deal of time with me answering questions and such, but he doesn't have the diamond I want at the moment...

What do you guys think? Mucho thanks for all the advice and help so far!
