Welcome

Firstly looking at your colour and clarity requirements - is it important to you to have these? You could drop considerably and still have a very white and clean diamond. However this is a preference and nothing wrong with that if that is yours! The H&A cut is one of the most desirable and best cut diamonds you can find, so that is a great choice. Cut is the most important C for a beautiful diamond. You can use the search by cut tool under Prices at the top of the page to see what is available.

This one is a G VS diamond which is new in from Whiteflash, one of their A Cut Above H&A diamonds and in budget. IF you lower your colour and clarity needs if you wish, it will broaden your options considerably. You could got to a G or H for eample with colour and a VS or even a clean SI clarity, but this is a personal choice.
