looking for your opinions! please!

I’m looking for some feedback on this stone. GIA certified – price is $6873.00. The vendor (Mondera) classifies it as “premium”. I am planning on perhaps using it as the center stone for my three stone setting. (The other two stones are RB, .60 each) I purchased a 1.22 carat K from them a week ago, but I''m sending it back (the faint yellow bothers me), and my husband has told me that if I''m going to do this one last time, do it right. We have a somewhat limited budget, so I am hoping that 6873.00 for a 1.5, J, vs2 will be nice. Thoughts are much appreciated!

if the 'yellow' from the 'k' color was all that bothered you on the last one, i'm sure this will be fine.

Do you know what the color of your sidestones is?

thanks so much! i am really learning so much here, it''s been so much of a help. i am really developing an appreciation for beautiful diamonds and it''s amazing how much there is to know. if i decide to go with this stone, it''ll be the center of my three stone and it should really look nice with the .6 sides that i have. my center is a poorly cut 1.0 right now, which faces up like a .85 and i just dont see enough difference between it and the two sides. i think a 1.5 center will really make for a nice piece. again, thanks so much and i''ll post some pictures. this site is wonderful, everyone is so helpful and honest. i wish i was aware of this info years before, but we''ll just say that at least now, i''ve learned from my mistakes! thanks everyone! keep the input coming!
