I'm in an e-ring dilemma. I have been searching for a while on the net and recently took my first real visit to several local shops. I have been quoted several decent stones just below the 3 ct. arena with about a GIA J - SI1 for approx $19k-ish. I haven't really been happy with most of those SI1s because they have all had inclusions right on the face - while they were eye clean I just wasn't happy knowing the inclusions existed...
I recently found a 3.5 ct GIA - K - VVS2 for around $22-23k on the net. I'm aware that K is slightly more tinted than the J region on the chart. But thus said, I don't really want it to be noticeably yellow in the setting. Im planning on either a white gold or platinum setting with a pave / eternity style setting with .10-ish stones...
Can anyone give me an idea of what this may look like in that kind of setting? Is this a good deal or should I keep looking? I know that ideally I should go with a better graded color, but I think that the mere size of this is kind of too astonishing to pass up...? Im kind of stuck here. I have posted a link below:

I really wish that I could find a better color (H-I or better) - around a 3+ ct. - thats eye clean (VS clarity) - and more square than rectangular - GIA - for around or under the $20k area.
What do you guys think?
