Diamond search. please help!

Hi everyone,

I've been reading up quite a bit the last few days and has narrowed my search down to this diamond from ja.

[url=http://www.jamesallen.com/loo...j-color-vvs1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-401755[/url]

It scores a 1.6 on the HCA scale in the TIC proportion. I think the j color will be fine but what about the other characteristics? Is this a good diamond? My budget is up to 3k if there is a better recommendation. Thanks in advance.

The J stone is very nice... Here is another (same diameter as the J and higher color for $2840)

Ive recommended that stone to a few other people. I looooove it.

here is one other one I might consider. It has an OBO, so Id see what they might go down to

I love the stones that have been mentioned (I didn't look at the eBay one though, so can't comment). I love nice fat arrows on a diamond, but that's also personal preference.

Make sure you let us know which one you pick!

Thanks for the positive feedback. I was concerned i might have missed something obvious about the stone so it's reassuring to know that everyone thinks it's a nice diamond too. I went ahead and ordered it. Fingers crossed.
