Suggestions on a stone

[annadragon]

I''ve been searching WF, JA, PS, etc for a stone but despite all I''ve read on these forums and in the informational links I''m still having a hard time choosing.
I''m looking for an ~1.5ct, RB, VS1 or VS2, F or G color and obviously excellent or ideal cut. I''d like to keep this under $15000.
My reason for a VS clarity stone is due to the tension setting I''ll be putting it in. SI just makes me anxious.
Would the board be so kind as to point me toward some goodies?

Thanks,
Anna

Hi Anna,

Just to check, what exact size range do you want, as close to 1.5 as possible, and would you consider H colour also ( GIA or AGS graded)?

Do you want to be able to upgrade?

If not, Blue Nile has this stone, which is and AGS0 cut grade and within all your specifications.

Not a lot out there in this range of specs. I found a couple nice ones though.


Bankwire is discount on this one.

In the range of 1.5cts is fine. Since this will be placed into a tension setting I''m assuming there won''t be any upgrading.

Ellen picked you out some beauties!

Gosh sorry I didn''t address the certification question. AGS or GIA is fine.

If you would consider an H colour ( which will still be very white) this opens up more options for you,

I agree. And both those would be lovely!

I''m leaning toward the James Allen, 1.55ct, H, VS1. I called them up they said it was totally eye clean and available. My tummy is all tickle-y and warm!

Lovely choice! Show us pics when you get it!
