Need opinion on a diamond

[skg]

Hi, I''ve been reading up around the forum and learned quite a bit about diamonds. Advices you guys gave to other members are very valuable. Now it''s my turn. Thanks in advance for any help!!

I''m shopping for a diamond with the following specs:

Round
1-1.1ct
G,H
VVS2-VS2
Hearts & Arrow Ideal Cut
Price: Around $7000 +/-

I''ve been browsing around whiteflash, jamesallen, gog and bluenile. What do you guys think about these?

Which other ones would you pick? Thank You!!

I am curious: the ACA is bigger than you want and on the high end of your budget so I''m not sure why you are considering it?

The larger size is not an issue . I''m looking for something between $6500-$7500. It seems like the 1-1.1 ct diamonds fluctuate among this price range depending on the color(G or H) and clarity(VVS2-VS2). Any help is appreciated!!

Can you ask them what the 200 dollar difference between the above H VS2 and this H VS2?

I just spoke with a Celina at Whiteflash and narrowed my choices to these rocks:

I''ve lowered the clarity requirement to SI2 and hopefully find one that''s eye clean. Unfortunately, some of the rocks are still in the lab. I''ll have to wait till probably friday to talk to Brian about these rocks. Before then, Opinons please!!!
