One more ask for help… do you all see any high value stones 2.5 ct vs2-si1 I/H/G around $35k?

Some options you can take a look at. Are you open to just under 2.5 as well?

A few others just shy of 2.5. Being an H, the first one of these is my favorite.

Hello my friendly diamond advisors!! What is everyone’s opinion of this stone? https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-4379405.htm

It would be set in 14k white gold so I just want to make sure that the J color isn’t “yellow” in that setting ??

Thank you as always !!

Absolutely beautiful choice.
It may show hints of tint in the right lighting at the right angles, but you'd have to be looking at it from the side to really see it, most likely.
Give it a whirl...the sheer amount of light return will make it appear very white from the face up view. If you determine that a J color is too tinted for your personal level of color tolerance, the. WF will take care of you by gladly exchanging it.

Friends, what is your opinion of the 3 ct J colored stone vs the 2.61 I color. Do you think the J color sent against 14 kt white gold will show too yellow? BE99AF75-D96E-43F1-A1E1-31492AD00EDA.jpeg

I can see a slight difference is colour in the face down pic. In the pic of the two stones on the hand, for me there was no difference is colour between them. I personally think you won’t see any yellow tint at all in most lighting using a 14 kt white gold. It really depends on how white you want your stone to be, and your colour sensitivity and tolerances. The stone in my Avatar is also a J ACA (almost 3cts).

Hi! I have the other 3 ct J from Whiteflash on reserve now and planning to set it in 14K white gold setting. I am anxious to see it in person but knowing we have a 30 day return period, I feel that it's worth a look in person! The pics they sent me of my J against an I were very similar to the ones you posted with just a slight warmth in teh face down pic so I'm going to see how I like it in person. Good luck with your decision!

Did you end up going with the J? If so did you receive it yet? I'm still waiting on mine to arrive and getting nervous about the J color but hoping to love it!

Hello everyone!! Wanted to update you all as you were so helpful on this forum!! My wife finally got the stone set in the setting we ordered! She couldn’t be more happy!! The stone sparkles like no other, I can only detect a small amount of color when viewing from the side and only in certain situations. I might just be more color sensitive. Here is a picture!! Thank you all so much again!! D3C82221-17E9-4E80-A09D-3A06E1CDDB1D.jpeg

Yay! Congrats! It's absolutely stunning and beautiful on her hand! So happy for you both! I have had my 3 carat J for over a week now and I love it more and more each day. Enjoy the sparkles!!!
