Hello all. I am a long time lurker and occasional poster. My fiancé just proposed to me, and now I have a budget and go ahead to purchase a stone. My budget is 10 000 with a little stretch. I am looking to maximize size/spread for my budget. I currently have a stone on order from whiteflash but would like to see if you guys can find any other options:

Specs:
Modern round brilliant cut with maximum light performance.
Eye clean
ideally 1.5 ct or close to it (7.5mm)
I am open to warmer colors, but J is the bottom I am willing to consider.

Any help/options or opinions much appreciated. The setting will be a 6 prong solitaire with a knife edge.

Here is the stone I have on order: http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-57142.htm
 
The one you have on order looks terrific to me! I love that it has med blue fluorescence which will be a plus!
 
Excellent choice :love:
 
Are there any other options that you would suggest that I should consider?
 
I don't think you'll find one better than that. It has a great depth (60.x) which results in a very nice diameter for a 1.5! In fact, it is about the same diameter as my 1.58! And as I already said, the blue fluro can make the color look a little whiter. So I don't think we could do better at that price.
 
I am glad that you all support my choice. Its a long weekend here in Canada, so I will be wiring the money on Tuesday. I can't wait to see it. Thanks for all your help, in my posts and others. I have learned a lot from replies to other posters too. Thanks a million.
 
You made a great choice on your own! :appl: Please let us know how you like it once it comes! And then we'll need to see your setting and pics of the finished ring! :bigsmile: Congrats on your engagement! :appl:
