Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to assist me in my search for a nice Princess E-Ring
Very briefly, I'm looking for 2 carats or more with the usual criteria: the best cut/symmetry I can find, GIA/AGS, no fluorescence. Would be prepared to go to a G colour and ideally no lower than a VS1. Budget circa $30k
Unfortunately, due to my location I am going to have to buy this online. I have looked at GOG, James Allen etc but there seems to be little out there at the moment which meet my criteria. I've therefore narrowed it down to 2 stones at Blue Nile:
- a 2.05 signature ideal

I would be very, very grateful for people's thoughts on these two stones. I'm leaning towards the 2.05, as it has fewer inclusions and in, particular, the GCAL report looks better to my completely untrained eye (i.e. optical brilliance seems better - almost pure white) and the bottom pavilion photo looks more appealing for some reason. The 2.06 has a smaller table, but the GCAL report seems worse?
The problem with the GCAL reports is that I really don't know if I'm looking at the right thing!!
I would be eternally grateful for any comments/thoughts/advice from the experienced members here!!
