Hey all,
I am in the market for a 2ct + stone in the 20k range. I have done a lot of reading, but this is the first stone I have ever purchased. Some validation from those with more experience would be appreciated. I was looking for a G-I VS1/VS2 stone I think.
I looked for months and after failure to pull the trigger caused me to miss out on a few stones that I liked that were a bit larger and H in color, I ended up feeling like I needed to order something and went with the following for a little under 17k. There was just nothing else that looked like as good of a deal. I also did not find the forum here until a few days ago.

Table: 57
Depth: 61.7
Pavilon: 40.8
Crown: 35
HCA: 1.6
It falls within the specs that are commonly specified and the HCA score did not disqualify it. Does this look like a stone I should be happy with given what I paid?
I was then perusing loupe troop which i just discovered as well and saw this stone for 23k. https://loupetroop.com/listings/loo...-hca-1-dot-6-in-vatche-platinum-setting;16386
Very similar specs, but E in color. It is a little more than I was originally planning on spending, but looks like a great stone otherwise. Is this something I should consider? I know resale value is not something to get hung up on as this is not an investment, but seems like the 2nd stone would not depreciate much as it is already on the 2nd hand market. Should I consider returning the first stone?
Sorry, for all the questions. I am still a little out of my depth and this is the first major purchase I have made. All thoughts appreciated.
