I personally feel you can go lower than an E and it can still look plenty white . a G would save you so much money ! take it from a girl with a 2 carat I colored fancy

Thanks for your input. I have no problem going to down to a G in color or VS2 in clarity, but I can't find a G/VS2 that would have a face up size like the one originally posted.

the radiant you linked is very even- length and width wise, like a square. Do you want a square shaped radiant, or is something more rectangular ok? I'm sure the experts will chime in on how to choose radiants , but I just did a quick search with expanded parameters to include G and H colored stones and lot of very large rectangular radiants are coming up. or if you are looking for more a square, there will be no noticeable difference in size between this one

and the one you linked. I DO NOT KNOW if that is a nice radiant, as I do not know how to look for one AT ALL, just trying to look to save you a bit of cash, and bumping this thread, hopefully the experts will chime in !

The picture on BN is a sample picture. Unfortunately, one cannot buy a fancy cut based on numbers alone and the cut grade given by BN is arbitrary as there is no explanation of why it is considered VG. I would not purchase any fancy cuts without at least a picture of the actual stone and a video.

Ditto Chrono...James Allen has pictures/videos. It's a good place to start looking. You can see that a lot of them are not
pretty stones hence the need for pictures. You can also request aset images of your top 3 picks.

Here is a quick link to some of the more squarer ones at JA....this was with just a quick look so they would need to be
examined on a one-by-one basis. You can see there is quite a variety of faceting patterns. I had to drop down to H to be
in the same price range as the one you linked.
