Help Picking a Diamond

[mrlogik]

Hi Guys,

I need some help picking a diamond.

I *think* I'm looking for a G/H VS2, GIA Excellent cut round stone less thank 30k (ideally around 2.25 ct or close). I had a bad experience looking at EGL stones and would really, really appreciate some assistance on where to look, which specifications I can "tune" to get the best value for my purchase.

Thanks in advance!

I'd open up to the SI1 idea too - many are completely eye clean and offer a great value. You pay for clarity - but why pay for something you can't see anyway? Just my 2 cents.

Here's a couple:

A tad over budget but big:

Do you have the link to the stone itself so we can see the ASET and other images? If it is an ACA it should be fantastic and no need to worry.

That stone is no longer available.

Have you had an experiance w ACA AGS H color stones? Is there much difference from G? Are they white? TIA
