Okay, I've been looking for the perfect stone for a while. I tried WF and GOG. They had some stones I liked but they were not the perfect stone for me. I've bumped up my budget a bit and now I'm throwing myself at the mercy of the PSers out there to help me find the perfect stone.
My parameters:
Carot: 1.35-1.49 (I want to stay just under 1.5 if possible)
Diameter: ~7.15 preferred
Certificate: GIA or AGS
Shape: Round Brilliant
Cut: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry Excellent
Color: G or above
Clarity: VS2 or above
Hearts & Arrows
I don't know if my budget and parameters are realistic, so please educate me. Here are a couple that I'm considering to get us started.

On a related note, has anyone purchased diamonds from Quest or Bluenile? I'm a little concerned because of the lack of idealscope, aset images but I'm thinking that if you stay within certain parameters then you probably won't go wrong. But I'd appreciate hearing from people who have actually gone this route. Thanks in advance! Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
