Please HELP!!!

[Dewailer]

Ok, so I''ve looked at sooooo many stones...I''m tired and yet excited. I''m looking for a princess stone that is at least 1.03 - 1.08 - the bigger the better

. My ideal color is G and clarity VS1 or better. I would prefer it to be GIA certiified as well. NOW a few days later and much searching, I''m willing to go to a H or I in color if needed as I can''t seem to find anything in my price range $3,000 - $4,300 range that looks descent. Does the fluorescence and girdle make a huge difference...I don''t quite understand that? I would like the stone to be completely eye clean and beautiful

. Can anyone give me any guidance with these please...thanks so much!

To tell you the truth, the only one of those I like the pattern and brightness in the photo is #3, you can request an IS on it.

I like this one a lot better. WF offers a discount for PS members so it would be right at the top of your budget.

EDT: Fluorescence is a personal preference. If Medium or below, you will probably not notice it unless under a black light. For the girdle, you want to stay away from very thin and extremely thin as they can be prone to chipping, especially at the corners of a princess. A very thick or extremely thick girdle can hide weight. As long as you stay in the thin to slightly thick or medium to thick range, you will be good.

Nice summary.
