Opinions on Princess Cut

New member here. For a solitaire platinum setting. Don't mind going down slightly on color or clarity to get a larger stone.

What's your budget? How low would you be willing to go on clarity and color? Here's one:

I think I would go to g, h color (as long as it looked good in platinum) and eye clean si1. My budget is 12k for the stone alone

I'd put a stone on hold even if you only have a slight interest in it because they get snatched up by lurkers...With JA it doesn't cost anything and I believe you can have up to 3 on hold...

the first one you picked looks nice. This one is a little cheaper: http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut-loose-diamond-2862810.htm
