PLEASE HELP ME FIND A NEW STONE BEFORE MY WEDDING

[ANDELSOL]

I found the following diamond on the internet for $18,200...Thoughts? Basically what I am looking for is a white eye clean stone that is 2.5 ct or bigger (in a round, radiant, or cushion cut) and I want to spend no more than $20,000...Is this possible?

2.51ct
round
diameter 8.85 x 8.88 x 5.20
table 59%
depth 58.7%
Color F
Clarity SI1
no Florescence
Sym: Very Good
Polish: Very Good
EGL certified

I can't help with that particular stone. Many people here will steer you away from EGL, but there are some great EGL stones to be found if you really know what you are looking for.

Considering I am a cushion girl, I did a search for one of those and came up with this one...

You picked 3 very different cuts. Do you prefer any of them over the other?

 

[ANDELSOL]

actually I think that I want to stay with a round cut...I would rather have size than clarity as long as it is eye clean. Did you find any rounds that are over 2.5ct, eyeclean, colorless, and under $20,000 with a GIA or AGS certification? Thanks for your help!

If you want to go down to an I color there are a few... you can''t decrease your size just a little bit?

These are some that I got from the PS list. You''d have to call to see if they are eye clean. You can find these listings by using the pricescope your diamond on the top of the page.
