Well, the HPD stone is lower colored than the others, for the same price, so I would eliminate that one immediately.

The BGD stone looks good, but I'm a bit concerned about the inclusions.

The WF stone looks great. The H/VS2 combo is really a 'sweet spot' for many consumers (including myself). I also like the inclusions on this one, off the table.

I would reach out to WF and see what sort of pricing they might be able to offer you, as that stone seems to tick all of the boxes on your list of requirements!

I favor the Whiteflash stone it looks like a winner

I adore the 2.6ct WF one, personally!

Are you open to a preloved diamond/ring? This one would come in under budget and is available loose or together in this fabulous 3 stone setting:

I love the WF stone...I'd want H VS2 over lower color or lower clarity. Easy choice to me!

Thanks everyone for your advice. M-2-B nice move I have sent Grace an email. How funny it is a Leon ring and it will most likely go back to him to make it into a 411.

Will keep you posted. Any original ASET / documentation for the RB diamond to hand?

I love the G VS-2 combo on that stone! Are you open to other vendors for the new setting, especially if you are looking for delicate pave work? If so, let me suggest Victor Canera:

Hi B-2-B, there are currently three projects with Leon at the moment, so I will most likely end up taking the fourth to him also. I just hope there is not a fifth for my wallets sake! But thank you for recommending Victor, the other issue is I am an 8hr flight away from NYC.

Curious how you choose between the four options posted under this topic. Thanks!
