Looks like a very nice diamond!!! I''m assuming that VVS1 is important to you??

 

[princez131227]

Thank you and it is but if you have any suggestions I am very open. I was hoping to get more of the 2.00 carat range but not spend more than 20,000.00.

You could get closer to 2cts with that generous budget, IF you are willing to drop in clarity and even closer if you are willing to drop in color.

I''m probably not the right one to be helping you as I''m a H, I, SI kind of a girl, but here''s a few suggestions for the heck of it!

Thank Jay, I have to say I am picky. My poor fiance''. I had a bad experience w/ an H before but I like the 1.6. Thanks for the help I like having more choices. Can I ask why u prefer an H-I to say a F-G. What do you think about the Royal crown Vatche. semi-mount?

Because I like SIZE! But in addition, I'm not that color or clarity sensitive. Was the bad experience H a GIA excellent cut diamond?

I've never seen the Royal Crown in person, but I do own a Vatche and can attest to the excellent quality!

IMO stay with an F to G, I love the icier white stones. I def. can see color at an H.

If you like the icey white stones, I think your best bet would be to get a G/SI if you want to go larger. I personally am not that color sensitive and like J colored stones if they are well cut, but everyone has their preferences.

I think you can save quite a bit of money if you drop down in clarity at least to a VS2. You shouldn''t be able to see anything with the naked eye in a VS2 and many SI''s are even eye-clean. Why pay for what you can''t see? Who cares if they are visible in a microscope?

I like the G/VS2 posted above. Although, if you really want the higher clarity, the stone you posted has beautiful proportions.
