Here is my current top runner:

Any better options out there?
Well priced?

I need to have the ring in hand by June 15th. Should I keep looking or pull the trigger? Is there a time of week or month where more stock will be released?

It is an ACA so of course the cut quality is top notch.

You pay more for the perfect hearts and arrows.

This stone is the same color, has better clarity, the same spread (surface area) and Strong blue fluor (definite positive in a J-colored stone):

You'll save yourself a good chunk of cash (at least $500) to put into the setting, as well!

You really cant go wrong with an ACA.

I checked BGD...they dont have anything that would beat that for the price.

JA....
If you want to move up to an I this is a couple hundred more (probably about same with discount). Is an AGS but the cert isnt loaded
(thinking is might be an AGS000) but not sure...

A little larger (not an H&A)

This one looks really nice and is an H&A. GOG ...its an SI2 so need to ask if its eye-clean. Price is really good $5800.

That's a beautiful stone, top notch cut.

I've reserved the stone. Thanks for your help. I didn't fall in love with any of the other suggestions. If any one has anything else, please chime in. I would love to find a comparable or slightly larger stone with blue fluorescents. If nothing comes up by tomorrow I move forward.

Hi OP, how do you plan to set it? If you go WF, you can pick the platinum Legato sleek line (a personal fav) for $1275 about. You may be able to still get platinum for less with a more simple style, since you are maxing out your diamond budget.
