Hello all, I''m a Navy flight student who has been lurking for a while and I''m finally starting to narrow down what I''m looking for. Online shopping seems to make the most sense because no stores in the area are stocking more than one or two marquises in the range I am looking for and all of them seem to charge much more. My budget is in the 2000-2500 range for the stone. I have been working with whiteflash and have come up with the following diamonds. Wondering about some opinions on the three following stones They all appear to be within the ideal cut standards aside from girdle thickness which I really don''t think I understand as it seems to be very difficult to find a stone that does well in the other areas. G-H was the lowest color grade I felt comfortable with in the stores and SI1 the lowest clarity. Oh also I tend towards the marquises on the slightly fat side as two of these stones are, but 2:1 looks just fine as well.
