Thank you in advance for all of your help, and I apologize for any mistakes as I am new to the forum. It has been an invaluable resource and I have learned a lot by reading.
I am in the final stages of choosing a loose round diamond, and I would love your expert feedback. I have been mainly looking at Whiteflash's "A Cut Above" and "Expert Series" diamonds, but also at James Allen's "True Hearts". I am open to other alternatives, however.
I know everything is about trade-offs and ultimately it's a matter of personal preference. What I'm trying to ask is if I'm on the right path. Thanks!
This is what I am looking for:
Budget: $15,000 - $17,000
Color: G-H
Carat:1.65-1.8 (size was more important than I realized once I saw them in a store)
Clarity: VS1-SI1 (eye clean is also very important, some of the ACA say they are not eye clean, not sure if that's noticeable once it's on)
Cut: Ideal (This one is most important)
Fluor : Does not matter
Budget: Up to 17k
A few examples what I'm looking at:
