Have a look at this 2.01 D VS2 (H&A designation) for under $1300...

IGI #LG517294472

If I were upgrading the 1.69 E SI1 in my wife's first LGD ring, then I'd be buying this right now.

Do you have a link?
No video in loupe360, I just can see the IGI report but that's all.
Report looks great.
Only the date of the certificate is old, and that makes me suspect something is wrong (hue?).

Don't want to post it so it doesn't get sniped before Larisa gets an opportunity to see it and make a decision if it's "The One" or not.

OK, I found it. The big inclusion, that also reflects elsewhere, would bother me.
I guess that's why it doesn't sell.
The cut is gorgeous.
EDIT: I think it should be SI1.

It's tucked away under the crown where it will never be seen in usual viewing conditions...it'll take a certain kind of lighting condition and keeping it extra steady to try and see it without using magnification.

Here's a similar diamond but with a larger SI1 inclusion under the crown:

Thank you , the jeweller I’m dealing with here in aus asked me to send him a list of a few diamonds I like and he will see which ones he can get in to see in person. I’ve added the 2.04 and the 2.01 to the list. As well as the 2.09. I figure I’ll add all the ones I like in case only a couple are available.

Last night I expanded my search over 2.2c and found a few more options:

LOVING the proportions and cut quality of the 2.26 D VS2!!!

Larisa · Mar 30, 2023

Also the 2.4 has this image included on adiamor. It says it’s from the actual diamond. Never seen that included for an IGI

Larisa · Mar 31, 2023

Ok so my jeweller has checked and the 2.26 isn’t available. Bummer

He did send me another option , it’s SI1 clarity but he says the vendor says it’s 100% eye clean.

I’ve included the video for it below as well as for the 2.40. I’ve also included the HCA scores for both.

2.28 D SI1 - HCA 1.1

2.40 E VS1 - HCA 1.2

The 2.28 looks promising. I'm not a fan of the cut precision on the 2.40.

Concurring with Kim, here. That's an extremely nice SI1 and warrants further investigation!

Larisa · Apr 1, 2023

Update - the 2.04 and 2.05 aren't available. He's put the 2.28 on hold for me and sent through a bunch of other options he's found, they look really good to me. I can pick 3 (that Includes the 2.28 on hold) for him to bring in for me to have a look at in person. Would love your opinions as to which 3 to go with. I've Inc the 2.28 at the end again for comparison to the new stones. Prices are in AU$ and Inc tax and customs fees.

LG523270772 - 2.23 D VS2 $3404
Cut Score 9.0 HCA 1.1

DejaWiz · Apr 1, 2023

My favorites are the
2.24 D VS2
2.14 E SI1
2.16 F SI1

...in that order

I like the 2.24 and 2.14 too, but the F seems to have a non-yellow tint to my eyes.

musicloveranthony · Apr 2, 2023

My eyes are drawn to (in order):
2.14
2.24

Larisa · Apr 2, 2023

I think the 2.14 is my favourite too.

Larisa · Apr 4, 2023

I've purchased the 2.14 - it's going to be set on a two tone solitaire. I will be posting some pics once it's here.

Thank you to everyone who provided advice and feedback. I really appreciate it!
