Hi,

Hope I've finally narrowed it down.

Aiming for round diamond 0.8 carat or maybe a touch higher. E/F. VVS2/VS1. Excellent cut

love this setting from BGD - http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/classic-truth-solitaire-18k-white-gold-5369w18..

Appreciate any feedback. Am living in Sydney but both companies seem to have very good reps exporting down under so not sure that makes a difference.

If you like the setting from Brian Gavin it would probably be best to get it all there.

I'd probably pick the .834 from Brian Gavin. You said you wanted E/F color but that's an H though.

Here is a .806 G Vs1 from Brian Gavin

.810 F VS2 (I know you were looking for vs1 though)

Whiteflash has some potential diamonds too. They are regarded highly here and I've ordered from them. The most expensive diamond you listed is $6356 so I'm just using that as the maximum.

.870 G VS1 $5469 (wire)

I'd go with the .834 H VS1 from BGD. A well cut, signature BGD H will show very VERY well! The size is great! the price is too! Along with the classic WG Truth setting - GORGEOUS!! Amazing ring for a fantastic price point - that's what I'd buy, if it were me.

I have 3 things from BGD and they are impeccable!
