Brand new to the forum as I do my best to learn the tricks to buying a great diamond. Thank you ahead of time for the wealth of information everyone has shared.
My challenge: Locating a 2-3ct Radiant with a L/W 0.95-1.05. Pref H or better color, eye clean. Will eventually be the center stone for a 3 stone setting with ~.75tcw trillions on each side. Budget for the radiant is ~15k. Size and sparkle seem to be more important than color/clarity with her likes.
So far I'm locked in on this 2.25 ct H/SI1 radiant (also found on JA for video): http://www.zoara.com/diamonds/p_radiant_excellent_cut_h_si1#p=5047267&a_aid=y&chan=x
Should I be worried about the "cloud inclusions" effecting the sparkle? Thoughts/opinions? Think I can do better?
All feedback is appreciated. Thanks so much!
