Looking for Diamond - Please Help

[lsutodd002]

I am looking for a diamond for engagement ring.

I don''t know much about all that goes into grading diamonds so I am asking for help. I would like to find 1 in the following parameters:
-Princess
-SI1 or better
-I color or better
-0.75 carat minimum
-Ideal
If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I am getting the ring custom due to her finger being size 2 3/4. I am looking to get the most for my money. Being on a firefighter''s budget

, I can also only spend $2200 maximum for the diamond.
Thanks, Todd

This stone? Just $44 more than your budget if you do bank wire. It is an AGS0 stone that is in the virtual inventory of WF. WF should be able to get it in and get the IS, ASET images and a sarin scan of the stone.

Hi Todd and welcome!

Would you consider SI2 clarity if verified eyeclean from a trusted vendor and J colour? This would give you a lot more options if you were agreeable, if not then don't worry but I just wanted to mention it as SI2 if eyeclean can be a great choice when on a budget and J colour will look very similar to I.

If so, here are some examples

I am trying to stay within my set parameters. I do not want to go lower as I feel my girl deserves that.
