I am bumping this up hoping someone will let me know what they think of this diamond. Opinions please! THANK YOU!!

I love H color, they are plenty white for me. I think your stone looks nice. I would keep the 2.50, it will look gorgeous!

I know that everyone's opinions are different... but if I wanted a "bigger" stone, to ME "G VS2" is paying too much. I would go H/I/or even J SI1 (eye clean).
So I think your H Si1 is a great option. If I can't see the inclusions with the naked eye then it isn't worth it to ME to pay for extra clarity. (When am I ever going to be looking at my stone through a 10/20x loupe in real life??) And if the color looks white and beautiful to ME, then I don't need to pay extra for a higher color grade just because some "chart" says to. It all depends on what is beautiful to YOUR eye.

If you like the H Si1, then GO FOR IT!! My stone is a J SI1 and I love it. But some people are more color sensitive than others. I, personally, would choose a slightly lower color and clarity to get a BIGGER size!!

It looks like a beautiful stone to ME.
Good luck with your decision!

I'd go up one in clarity, and not go with a hearts and arrows. The perfect symmetry doesn't have as much soul to me, and a branded cut can cost more. H is a great color in a well cut diamond even if you're color sensitive. My 2 cents, good luck!

That's a nice stone; and if symmetry (H&A) is what you are after it looks good. I'd just make sure it is eye clean - those inclusions around the table concern me.

Can you have it sent to you so you can see it and see if it speaks to you?

I'm no pro by any means, but for $33K I'd keep looking.

I agree! I went with a 2.03 J SI1 and love it!

I am just a newb...but judging by what I paid for my stone...for $33K you should keep looking.

For what it's worth this is a nice stone for about 4.25k less then the stone you have listed with the ps discount applied. This for certain has the h&a look that you want. Get JA to send you the aset as well.
