help the broke school teacher find a stone for this setting

[autry024]

So this is my setting, the side diamonds are rated G quality S1. I want a round diamond that will sparkle sparkle sparkle! Did i mention sparkle? I am looking for a eye clean stone , a color appropriate (or better) to the setting near or at 1ct. My budget for the stone is $4000-4500. So basically the biggest , best looking stone My 4000-4500 can get.

I have searched and read about stones but I know there are all these variables in selecting a diamond that I just don't understand. Please help me thanks!

Slightly over budget but an AGS000 Hearts and Arrows: http://www.bluenile.com/round-diamond-1-carat-ideal-cut-i-color-si2-clarity_LD00967157?__fun_frm=i&filter_id=0

You''d have to ask Blue Nile if it''s eye clean and colorless.

Just curious. I looked at the BN stone and could see nowhere that it stated the diamond was H&A, where is this information found?

Click on AGLS report and then magnify it. It shows at the bottom of the report "AGSL# H&A"

You are right, it does. It would be nice to see the reflector images to see what the standards are of the people doing the engraving. This is not a grade that AGSL assigns, but rather a comment on what is engraved on the girdle.

Most likely it is a very nice H&A pattern, but I always like to see.
