Currently in the market for a 1.55 to 1.85 carat round diamond. Its going on a gold setting. I've been shopping around at local shops and online. I thought I had found a good stone yesterday and put an $800 deposit on it to pick up today but last night I came across this site and read a lot more about the different measurements and how they affect the light performance. I was under the impression that all GIA XXX stones would be great stones but after running it through the HCA Calculator it came back as 3.8. Went back today to get my deposit back from the store and they wouldn't give it back. They wanted the remaining $10,200 to complete the sale.
So now I'm out $800 but I didn't want to be stuck with a stone that I wasn't 100% satisfied with. This is the stone I was about to purchase and backed out of. https://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=6197987358
I'm currently looking for an I color and clarity of vs2 or higher but also open to H color if the price is right.
What do you think of these stones?

My goal is to get the best possible sparkle from a 1.5 to 1.8 carat round stone in the I color range.
Thanks
