Newbie - need advice picking an ideal cut under $22K

[RBrooks2010]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie and after a few weeks of research have decided choosing an ACA diamond (or similiar) for an engagement ring. My budget is $22K. I'm looking to propose in the next month or two and welcome any help finding the perfect diamond. I plan on buying the setting locally.

I am looking for VS preferred or might consider eye clean SI, 1.8 - 2 cts, atleast a G color.

Here are a few I am considering and welcome feedback and any other suggestions.

How about this Signature stone from Brian Gavin? He was a cofounder of WhiteFlash and created the ACA cut but couldn't take the trademark with him when he started his own company, so he calls his cuts Signature and they're H&A.

This is a 1.7 but its measurements (width) is about the same as the JA 1.85 link you posted. Under budget.

I also looked at H's for you, as there is such a minimal colour difference. Whiteflash has some great candidates for you.
