Hi Brok

Its an easy choice for me as the 2 carater is still of excellent quality being F VS so thats what I would pick, best of both worlds to me.

Those are of EQUAL quality in my eyes... I''m a bit of a clarity nut and I think your clarity could drop to VS2 and you''d not even know it. And your color differences are seriously negligible.

This is a no brainer.

I''d drop down to an I and get the one above and save 10-15 thousand dollars and get a bigger stone. Or I''d hold out for a vs2 G or H if color is that important to you.

I agree with Cherabehra...I'd go down to (G/H VS2) and get more for your money. Well cut stones show up very
white (but it depends on your color sensitivity). Best bang for your buck is usually G/H eye-clean SI1 but since you have
such a great budget G/H VS1/VS2 would be great.
