Newbie with a question

[NoleGirl]

I''ve been lurking the past couple of days and have already learned so much. Is it possible to find a quality diamond for around $4,000? I would like a RB. 1.05 -1.09 ct. would prefer SI1 or SI2 (eyeclean). H, I, J in color. Am I being realistic??
thank you!

If you''re in the J, SI range, you likely can find a well-cut one carat stone for approximately that much.

I''d suggest doing a cut quality search with your parameters to find possible matches.

This one is slightly smaller in weight than you mentioned, but since it is such a great cut, it''s measurements are likely bigger than any stone you''ve seen at a B&M store or the mall.

The one from James Allen looks pretty nice! The inclusion is close to the edge. You may have found your stone!!
