Looking for MRB for friend's ering $2K total budget

[bunnycat]

A friend of a friend is on an engagement ring search. I mentioned IDJ for this, but also wanted to see if anyone could come up with any winners on a small budget to also consider. I'm suggesting leaving the absolute minimum for a setting (about $200). I've suggested color to be around I/J and clarity around SI1.

I'm starting a search on JA, but I know some of y'all are so much better at this than I am so am happy for input and suggestions.

This one might be worth looking at (should be the right price point after PS discount) -

.59ct, H, VS2:

Thanks for the info, I'll pass that along. I'm not seeing a whole lot on JA right now.

Thank you Gypsy! Passing info along!

Do y'all think this one is worth requesting the cert info to look at? It's AGS, but currently not posted.

I think it's got promise. Why not. Aset it.

instead of the last one I posted (not sure that one is eyeclean).
