Hi Everyone! This forum has been incredibly helpful in my research for the perfect engagement ring. I've actually enjoying learning so much while researching. I picked out the setting, but am going back and forth on the stone. Here is the current stone I am seriously contemplating:

It looks amazing in person at least face up. From the side, I do notice some color - it's a J, but that is mainly in the white lights in the vendor's store. He's let me take the stone outside and it looks much whiter. I am having a dilemma on getting a 1.75ctw+ with a J or go down to a 1.5ctw with an H. I don't see the value in the price increase from a J to an I.
I need people's advice and comments in order for me to make a decision. I know its a personal preference but would appreciate people's real world experience!
I'm being quoted ta $11,400 for the stone, which seems reasonable given the cut, table, depth, VS2, xxx. My price range fro the stone is capped at $12,500.
Please help and thank you in advance. I'm having uploading pictures but will keep trying.
Thank you.
