Thanks to the helpful people on these forums I'm ready to buy the diamond for the ring I'm going to propose with.

Budget: $2700 or less, I'm really looking for the best value I can get. Lower the price the better!
Clarity: As long as nothing is visible to the naked eye. I'm scared of getting anything less than VS2 just because I can't see it in person, but as long as I can return it I'd take the chance to save money.
Color: Preferably an I but a J would be fine as long as it really isn't a K.

Thanks for everything! You all have helped me so much! I'm really excited!

Does she like a "square" cushion or one with more of a rectangular shape? Does she like "chunky" faceting or "crushed ice" look in a cushion?

Also, cushions face up smaller than rounds, ovals, and marquises-- just making sure she wouldn't like some other shape... :))

How about these? I'm not a cushion expert by any means, but I thought they looked nice...

This one has is a good bit larger and I liked the faceting pattern... $2440

This one is icy white and very pretty as well... $2740

Thanks for the replies!!!

I think she preferred square slightly over rectangular. She had no preference on type of cushion, but yes, she only wants a cushion. I tried to push her in the direction of a round but it was a no go.

The links you posted are all beautiful. I'm wondering what you think about these, they look to be similar in quality and they're all a carat or more
